Maccabi Haifa fined NIS 42,000 for fan rioting in the Haifa derby. Judges decided not to deduct points for lighting the flares, but to settle for a monetary fine.
In the court they admitted that they "disagree regarding the conviction of the type of "fan riot under aggravating circumstances", therefore "there is no obstacle to reduce the punishments set forth in this regulation" In the case of a repeat conviction, we will seriously consider reducing the penalty of not selling tickets to an away game.
