An Israeli professor has been killed in a violent attack in Sofia, Bulgaria. Prof. Andrey Astonov, 83, a respected lecturer at Sofia University, was beaten and died from his injuries in hospital.

A 32-year-old resident of Bat Yam has been arrested today, approximately one month after the incident, on suspicion of involvement in the murder. The arrest was made following an exceptional international warrant, according to reports from Bulgarian authorities.

This represents a significant crime involving an Israeli citizen abroad and raises serious questions about security and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
