Elron Board Ousts Chairwoman Bachar Menuch, Reinstates Dan Hoz

Dan Hoz has been appointed temporary chairman of Elron, replacing Lisia Bachar Menuch, following a board vote initiated by two of her partners in the controlling Arieli Group. The dispute is linked to a significant debt incurred by Arieli Group to acquire Elron shares, with the collateral value now matching the loan amount. Bachar Menuch has threatened legal action, while her partners accuse her of obstructing a resolution.

Israeli Astrophysicists Discover Solar Storm Analog Near Supermassive Black Hole

Israeli astrophysicists from the Technion and international colleagues have detected a solar storm analog near a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 3783 for the first time. The flare, caused by magnetic reconnection, produced an ultra-fast wind similar to a solar coronal mass ejection. This discovery provides the first direct evidence of magnetic reconnection in active galactic nuclei, with the black hole's event being vastly larger than solar phenomena.
