Cyprus police have arrested a 41-year-old man, identified as a national of a third country, as part of an ongoing counter-terrorism investigation in Larnaca. This arrest, made on July 18, 2026, follows a coordinated operation conducted in an Asian country, where the suspect was located. Authorities have been monitoring him for about a month, suspecting him of being the key figure responsible for recruiting other individuals involved in a terrorist network allegedly linked to Hamas.
The man has now been remanded in custody for eight days as investigations continue. This arrest marks the fourth in connection with the case, which has raised significant attention within Cyprus, Greece, and among international security agencies. The investigation initially emerged in May 2026, and police have confirmed that the new suspect faces charges similar to those being investigated against the previously arrested individuals.
