French authorities have launched an investigation into a group suspected of planning attacks, reportedly on Israeli targets, and two minors have been charged and placed in pre-trial detention as a result of it, France’s national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office says.

In a statement issued after a report in French media, the office also says that since the start of 2025, a total of 20 minors have faced terrorism-related charges.

Media outlet Franceinfo reports that the two minors had been planning an attack on “Israeli targets,” citing a source close to the investigation. The anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office does not immediately confirm that in its statement.
