However, security agencies continued to assess the overall risk level as generally high and abstract.
Herrmann explained that the tense situation in the Middle East could fundamentally affect the security situation both in Bavaria and across the entire country. He warned that nationwide demonstrations could become more frequent as a result. The minister emphasized the importance of avoiding exaggerated responses. He added that police forces in Bavaria had been adequately prepared and made aware of the potential risks.
The Interior Ministry reported that both the police and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution were maintaining constant communication with federal security agencies as well as with those of other German states. The police have been showing an increased presence especially at events related to Israel or the Jewish community. Security measures for Jewish citizens and Israeli institutions have been significantly reinforced.
Bavarian police forces are expected to be visibly present at all relevant gatherings and public events to ensure the protection of the affected groups.
