The country's security alert level is increasing ahead of the Christmas holidays. Authorities have established an enhanced security system featuring an extensive police presence at the most sensitive sites: ranging from places of worship to embassies, from government headquarters to the busiest squares and markets of recent weeks.
Particular attention is dedicated to the potential of "lone wolves", individuals who can become radicalized online and act on their own. As a result, online regulations have been tightened, with increased monitoring of questionable online behavior. Among the proposed measures is the deployment of specialized anti-drone squads capable of eliminating any threat in seconds. The Department of Public Safety has published a circular encouraging extra vigilance against potential Jewish targets in Italy. The advice involves increased security measures at all important areas, which will stay in place in the coming days, particularly in light of the attack on Bondi Beach during Hanukkah celebrations.
