Israel Thwarts Iranian-Ordered Attack on Israelis in Cyprus

Israel claims to have helped Cyprus thwart an Iranian-ordered attack against Israelis and Jews on the island, citing an increase in such plots since the Gaza war. The Israeli Prime Minister's office expressed concern over Iranian use of Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus for terrorism purposes. Two Iranians were reportedly detained in Cyprus for questioning over suspected planning of attacks on Israeli citizens, although details remain unverified. This is not the first time Israel has warned of planned attacks on its citizens in Cyprus, with a previous alleged Iranian attack being thwarted in June.
