Israeli athletes and officials, the mayor of Paris and International Olympic Committee officials paid tribute on Tuesday to Israeli Olympic team members killed by Palestinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Eleven Israelis were killed in an attack on Munich's poorly secured Olympic village where they were staying. Amid heightened geopolitical tensions over Israel's war in Gaza, the memorial ceremony, originally due to take place just before the start of the Games outside Paris City Hall, was moved to the heavily protected Israeli embassy.
