Recently it was reported that the Greek intelligence services arrested two Pakistanis who were planning to carry out a terrorist attack against Jewish people in Athens. The Israeli Prime Minister’s office then released an official statement on behalf of the Mossad Intelligence and Special Tasks Agency:
Today, there was a report in Greece, with details of the successful countering of a serious and substantial threat by the Greek intelligence services. This is another attempt by the Iranian regime to initiate and facilitate terror against Jewish targets and Israel abroad. After the investigation on the suspects was launched in Greece, the Mossad provided infrastructural and methodological assistance and provided the investigators with information about Iranian involvement in the crime. The investigation revealed that the infrastructure operating in Greece was part of a large Iranian network controlled from Iran and operating in many countries. "The Mossad, along with its colleagues from the intelligence community, are continuously working to prevent Iranian terrorist attacks around the world according to their duties.
Meanwhile, further details about the real miracle of preventing the horrible terrorist atack in Greece have emerged.
According to reports published with reference to security sources in Greece, the Iranians were planning an attack on a synagogue, which is also a restaurant. Photographs of the location and blueprints were found in their cell phones, as well as telephone conversations about planning and carrying out a bloody terrorist attack.
Apparently, the synagogue restaurant mentioned in the publications is, in fact, a Chabad center in Athens, in the Psiri neighborhood, which on Pesach evening was to receive hundreds of people arriving there for the festive meal of the Pesach Seder.

Apparently, the synagogue restaurant mentioned in the publications is, in fact, a Chabad center in Athens, in the Psiri neighborhood, which on Pesach evening was to receive hundreds of people arriving there for the festive meal of the Pesach Seder.
By an amazing and visible miracle, two terrorists were arrested even before they could carry out their plan. However, it appears that they had a third collaborator who managed to escape.
A statement released by the Greek police said that the attack would not only harm the lives of innocent citizens and deprive people of a sense of security, but would also damage Greek state institutions and Greek international relations. The terrorist network that was exposed was large-scale and intended to hit several targets in Greece at once. It was controlled by people outside Greece, according to an official statement from Greek security officials.
It seems that the attackers were planning to use explosive charges and also possibly commit hostage abduction for subsequent political blackmail. Clearly, the attack on a place that was supposed to hold hundreds of people would have caused a huge number of casualties and would have had the most horrific consequences, becoming one of the most serious terrorist attacks in recent times.
Nevertheless, thanks to the help of the Almighty, who showed us a visible miracle, this terrible attack was completely undermined by the efforts of the Mossad, the terrorists were arrested and the network of terrorists was defeated.
“Let us give thanks to the Almighty, for His mercy is everlasting!”
