Thanks to the anti-terrorist action and the arrest of the cell by the Cypriot security services, important information was obtained, which led to the discovery of the perpetrators, their modus operandi, the targets of the attack and the Iranian plan to kill innocent people in Cyprus and elsewhere.

 Since the murderous Hamas terrorist attack on 7 October, the Iranian regime has expanded its efforts to promote terrorism around the world. Iran does not hesitate to use all means to achieve its criminal goals.

The Mossad, along with its partner intelligence and security organizations, continues to take constant and varied action to defeat terrorist threats from Iran and its proxies and to defend the State of Israel and its citizens, as well as the Jewish people.

The National Security Council (NSC) reports that since the outbreak of the war, many Israelis have gone to live in Cyprus. The Iranian presence in northern Cyprus, as well as the past and current use of this area for terrorist purposes and as an area of activity and transit for attacking Israeli and Jewish targets, is a matter of concern.

The NSC and the intelligence community have recently updated the threat level to Israelis abroad and continue to instruct Israeli citizens accordingly."

The occupied territories must have been particularly worried about the subsequent reaction of Tel Aviv as according to Cypriot media reports Tatar told TRT that no such incident has occurred in the pseudo-state, all security units closely followed the statement. He added that necessary precautions have been taken at sea, land and air entrances to the pseudo-state as well.

However, today in Athens, the Chief of the General Staff of the National Defence General Konstantinos Floros received the Chief of the General Staff of the National Guard Lieutenant General Georgios Tsitsikostas at the "STRATARCHI ALEXANDROS PAPAGOS" Camp, during his first official visit to Greece.

During their talks, which were held in a particularly warm atmosphere, the Chief of the General Staff of the National Defence Staff congratulated his counterpart on his assumption of office, and discussed issues of mutual interest on current regional and international developments, with particular emphasis on the current situation in Ukraine and Israel. The security challenges facing Greece and Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa were also discussed.

The two Heads also referred to the constantly developing Military Cooperation between Greece and Cyprus and the ways to further deepen it. On this basis, the Chief of the General Staff of the National Defence Staff highlighted the trilateral regional cooperation programs in which the National Forces of the two countries, namely Greece - Cyprus - Israel, participate jointly, which is being strengthened as a "3+1" scheme with the participation of the United States, Greece - Cyprus - Egypt, Greece - Cyprus - Jordan and Greece - Cyprus - Armenia, which as a whole aim at consolidating peace and security in the Eastern Mediterranean region and beyond.
