NICOSIA, Cyprus– Four people were arrested after a pipe bomb exploded near the Israeli embassy in Cyprus early on Saturday, causing little damage and no injuries, police said.
Christodoulides addressing the International Peace Summit hosted by the Egyptian president in Cairo on October 21, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. Thousands of people, both Israeli and Palestinians have died since October 7, 2023, after Palestinian Hamas militants based in the Gaza Strip, entered southern Israel in a surprise attack leading Israel to declare war on Hamas in Gaza on October 8.
The incident occurred in the Cypriot capital Nicosia at 1:37 am about 30 to 40 metres from the embassy as a deadly war between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers entered its third week. Since then, more than 4,300 Palestinians, mainly civilians, have been killed in relentless Israeli bombardments, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.
Police said they arrested four suspects aged between 17 and 21, two of whom were on foot close to the scene and another two who were in a car parked on a nearby residential street.
