A bomb threat leads to security checks on an Israel-bound cruise ship docked at a Greek island port. Greek authorities respond after an unknown person claims an explosive device has been attached to the vessel’s hull, prompting a port-side security operation at Syros.
Outlets describe the response in slightly different ways. GMA News Online and Cyprus Mail both report the threat and the Greek authorities’ investigation at Syros, with Cyprus Mail adding vessel details, including that the Panama-flagged Crown Iris was scheduled to sail to Haifa with passengers and crew. The Jerusalem Post focuses more on the inspection process, saying an initial search by the Port Authority finds nothing suspicious and that the Coast Guard’s Underwater Missions Unit is expected to conduct a more thorough second inspection.
