Israel says it helped thwart Iranian-backed attack in Cyprus

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the Israeli intelligence agency (Mossad) assisted Cyprus in foiling an Iranian-ordered attack against Israelis and Jews on the island.

It added that such plots have increased since the outbreak of the Gaza war.

The office stated in a statement that Israel is "disturbed" by what it perceives as Iranian use of northern Cyprus, which is under Turkish control, "for terrorist purposes, as an operational zone, and for transit."
