More than 1,500 passengers were held aboard an Israeli-run cruise ship in Greece after a bomb threat prompted security checks on the vessel. According to Times of Israel reporting, no explosives were found in an initial security sweep, but the ship remained under further inspection before resuming its journey to Haifa port.
The incident prompted high-level Israeli security coordination, with the Israeli Navy chief discussing the matter with officials from the Shin Bet and Mossad intelligence agencies. The threat forced a diversion of the vessel’s planned route as authorities conducted comprehensive security procedures.
The ship was eventually cleared to continue its voyage to Israel following the additional security checks, though passenger movements were restricted during the investigation period.
