Mossad thwarts Iranian assassination attempt in Cyprus.

Mossad confirmed that it foiled an Iranian plot to assassinate Israeli nationals in Cyprus. The terrorist cell, comprised of intelligence operatives of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, arrived in the Turkish side of the island and dispatched operatives to Greek Cyprus, where they surveilled Israeli targets in Limassol. The Cypriot intelligence services and Mossad closely monitored the movements of the cell for months and located a secret hideout belonging to the cell, where they found equipment that could have been used in the execution of the attack. This is the second incident related to the ongoing Revolutionary Guards' activities in Cyprus within two years.
