The famous Louvre Museum in Paris has been evacuated and shut down for the rest of the day after receiving a bomb threat amid increasing tensions in Israel.
“Dear visitors, For security reasons, the Musée du Louvre is closing its doors today, Saturday, October 14. Those who have booked a visit during the day will be reimbursed. Thank you for your understanding,” the museum posted on its X account.
According to the Le Parisien newspaper, the evacuation and decision to shut down the museum was followed by a message threatening to bomb the Louvre.
From Breitbart:
The reported bomb threat to the museum came one day after a French teacher, Dominique Bernard, was stabbed to death in a suspected Islamist terror attack outside a middle school in the city of Arras.
