Thai immigration police arrested a 27-year-old Israeli citizen yesterday on suspicion of stabbing a man in Tel Aviv last year, Hebrew media reports.
Thai police arrested the man as part of a joint operation with Israeli authorities and are working to extradite him to Israel.
The suspect has an arrest warrant for aggravated assault and obstruction of justice, for which he could face up to 23 years in prison.
The suspect allegedly fled Israel with a fake passport after learning his accomplice in the stabbing was arrested. He later entered Thailand with his real passport.
