Maccabi Rishon LeZion and Hapoel Gilboa / Galil will be prosecuted for the serious incidents that took place last night (Monday) after the game between the two teams at Beit Maccabi, during which the host fans broke out and beat the Gilboa players.
Observer Shlomo Sabia later watched the events via television broadcast and noted in the report the main events and the brawl that developed on the floor.
In addition, the Israel Police is also expected to investigate the incidents and possibly even arrest some of those involved, as breaking into the playground can be considered a criminal offense under the law.
Minister of Culture and Sports Hili Trooper said in response: "The incident of violence at the end of last night's game in Rishon LeZion is extremely serious.
I hope that the police will investigate quickly and thoroughly, and that the violent rioters will be severely punished. "
Trooper added: "At the same time, we will work to ensure that the Knesset approves the new law against sports violence in the coming summer session."
The league administration stated: "The league administration strongly condemns and is not ready to accept incidents of violence as seen last night in the hall in Rishon LeZion.
The game observer has written a serious report that will be forwarded to the union prosecutor and we expect the tribunal to punish those involved severely.
"At the same time, the director was informed that the Israel Police had begun investigating the incident in order to get their hands on the law in front of those fans who crossed every border."
