On the way to heavy punishment?
The association's prosecutor, Adv. Nir Reshef, decided today (Monday) to prosecute seven teams for rioting fans, including the two Tel Avivians, Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Beer Sheva, Hapoel Haifa Bnei Sakhnin and Hapoel Hadera.
The report of the derby referee between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv, Roi Reinschreiber, reads, among other things:
In addition to the torches, fans of this stand lit a number of smoke grenades that were thrown onto the lawn. "
On the side of the Reds it is written: "About 10 seconds after the opening whistle, a large number of flares and smoke grenades were thrown from the stands which were populated by Hapoel Tel Aviv fans (stand 5) and due to the heavy smoke the game was stopped for a full seven minutes. ".
In addition, it was noted that during the warm-up and the game itself, Hapoel Tel Aviv fans sang songs of encouragement, including "May there be a Holocaust for Maccabi."
