Greek authorities arrest a 37-year-old man on the island of Crete, saying he is suspected of involvement with Hamas and of plotting an attack on an Israeli cruise ship. Multiple outlets report that the suspect has not been publicly identified. According to officials cited in the reports, he is detained by police as part of an alleged terrorism investigation.
One report says the individual was granted asylum in Greece, while others focus on the arrest and the alleged steps taken toward carrying out an attack. The claims include that the man placed an online order for chemical agents that investigators say could be used in a planned attack on the ship. The reports also describe the case as being tied to alleged plans to bomb the cruise vessel.
The outlets do not provide details on any alleged targets beyond the Israeli cruise ship, nor do they describe confirmed evidence beyond the authorities’ accusations. The case is presented as an ongoing investigation by Greek police based on the allegations against the suspect.
