Cypriot police arrested a 21-year-old Israeli man in the resort town of Ayia Napa on suspicion of attempted murder, according to Israeli media reports. Additional details regarding the circumstances of the incident are not yet available.
Cypriot authorities arrested a 21-year-old Israeli man on suspicion of attempted murder in Ayia Napa, Israeli media reported Thursday morning. The arrest comes shortly after the earlier detention of another Israeli in Cyprus on similar charges last week — The Zioneer reported on June 17 that Cypriot police had arrested an Israeli individual on suspicion of attempted murder, though at that time the suspect’s age and location had not been disclosed. Thursday’s report names the suspect as a 21-year-old and places the incident in Ayia Napa, a popular tourist destination. No further details on the alleged attack or the victim’s condition have been released. Israeli consular officials are expected to be in contact with Cypriot authorities regarding the case.
