Fun fact Greeks still call Greek Muslims as Turks.
I had one Muslim Greek friend and his parents still call him a Turk.
Does this make Christian Greeks as Christian Turks

What did happen in 2002?
Funny story actually. Its basically a rock/island that is like 200 meters from our mainland. 2-3 police/gendarmes went to the rock and started making food. The Spaniards actually claim this rock/island so they intervened militarily. Funny enough it ended up with Spain sending a frigate, 3 corvettes, submarines, F18, and special forces that ended up landing on the rock with a helicopter. The 2-3 police/gendarmes got released the same day.What did happen in 2002?
Haha, you don't only find this in Greece, my friend. This is only on reportage but the news of the HIMARS was all over Spanish Media including the giants like for example "El Mundo". I think the history of Al-Andalus still haunts them to this day.Good to see that other countries have these kinds of reports and morons too.

Apart from that it seems like the Moroccan leadership staged all this since it would not make any sense for a couple of police men to go to the island just on their own desires, but it was more of a calculated step taken to see the response of the Spaniard since we still have the Sebta, and the mellila that is still occupied until this day inside the mainland of Morocco.
Just a matter of time! They are small areas that not exceed 30 square km of land, but they are still our land. Spain could not do much if Morocco made a huge operation, and they are well aware of that. I would not exlude that this issue will resolved diplomatically. If i would guess then i would say that the Moroccan leadership is more intersted in restoring our old land in our souther provinces, and especially «eastern sahara».Hopefully you can take back Ceuta and Melila.

I understand your concerns. Sebta and Mellila are part of the Moroccan mainland so any operation will not require us to invade from the seas like Spain. Spain does not have enough military personnel, and equipment to defend itself against any Moroccan invasion. Spain would have to go for an amphibious landing in the northern part of Morocco, and the distance between us is 14 km. You could consider it suicide, and Spain would lose heavy casualties.I'm on your side when it comes to those territories.
But saying that Spain couldn't do anything is very wrong.
How well would Spain perform vs. Morocco in an open conflict? Add in the factor of NATO and that's usually the end of the story.
Well you never stop learning, I was not aware that both territories are not within NATO article 5 boundaries.
