French authorities detain two minors in terrorism probe

French authorities have launched an investigation into a group suspected of planning attacks 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 said on Monday.

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

Media outlet Franceinfo reported 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 did not immediately confirm this in its statement.
