The National Intelligence Service (EYP) and counterterrorism authorities in Greece are on heightened alert after receiving a warning from foreign security services about a potential attack on an Israeli interest in Greece.

The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has heightened concerns about possible retaliatory attacks in third countries, prompting increased vigilance. EYP is maintaining close communication with foreign counterparts and is cooperating with Cyprus, where Iran attempted a terrorist attack as recently as December 2023.

Greek and foreign officials agree that there is a significant possibility of a retaliatory attack against an Israeli target outside Israel. While Greece is considered a potential location, there is no specific information about an imminent attack or specific targets.
