On November 3rd, bomb disposal experts searched the Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris in the Greek port of Syros following an anonymous bomb threat. The vessel, which sails under the Panamanian flag, was preparing to depart for Haifa with 940 passengers and 597 crew members aboard. The search was conducted by port authorities, a trained dog, and a private diver, with a special coast guard unit expected to join for a secondary inspection. Preliminary reports indicated no suspicious items were found. The incident occurred amid a backdrop of similar security concerns in Europe, including recent bomb threats on flights and the discovery of unexploded ordnance in the Netherlands. Authorities on Syros had also banned a protest by a local leftist group against the liner's arrival, citing potential threats to public order and the local economy. Local services are continuing their investigation into the incident.
