Bulgaria flies 90 citizens out of Tel Aviv on government plane

Bulgaria has flown 90 citizens out of Tel Aviv on a government plane after major attacks by the Islamist militant group Hamas on Israel.
The Airbus-type plane, which took off from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Sunday, landed in Sofia shortly before 6 pm local time (1500 GMT), Bulgaria's BTA news agency reported.
Meanwhile, at the Council of Ministers in Sofia, the National Anti-Terrorism Office held a meeting to discuss potential threats to Bulgaria, located in the south-east of the European Union, as a result of the Middle East crisis.
