The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmo, Sweden, was not without security concerns. The Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, revealed details of the security operation they arranged for the Israeli delegation. The operation, codenamed 'Operation Hurricane', was described as one of the largest and most complex operations ever completed by the Shin Bet. The security detail included highly trained agents who provided protection for Eden Golan, the Israeli delegate, throughout Malmo, including near the Eurovision stage. The operation required ingenuity, creativity, and cooperation with local security agencies in Sweden. Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar visited Malmo a week before the competition to coordinate security efforts. Local snipers were stationed on rooftops to ensure the safety of the delegation. Despite threats and protests, the operation was successful in ensuring the safety of the Israeli delegation. [9597f43c]
