Hapoel Tel Aviv basketball fans are once again involved in a violent incident, and basketball fans in Israel are tired of the shocking behavior of the Reds' fans, who are embarrassing the club for the third time this season.
As you may remember, at the beginning of the season, Hapoel Tel Aviv fans caused a stir when they booed at a memorial service for police officers who were murdered on October 7, and owner Ofer Yanai also visited them.
Recently, there were blatant pictures of the team's fans going down to the field and running towards the Hapoel Holon stand, attacking them.
Today (Saturday) there was another incident, when once again fans of the team came down to the floor after the end of the game, and violently attacked Hapoel Haifa fans, and were seen beating them with sticks and poles.
The director of the league responded: "We were shocked in light of the photos that came from the Shlomo Group hall this evening. This is serious violence by all accounts, the response to which must be the most severe punishment for those unruly fans who ruin the name of the rest of their team's audience. In sports, and in basketball in particular, there is no place for violent people who destroy every part of it Good. We call on those with the authority to punish, whether the Israel Police, the courts or the basketball association's tribunal, to behave with zero tolerance for violence of any kind."

Many teams in the Premier League this evening called on the heads of the league management and the basketball association to respond sharply against the violence that is developing in the Shlomo Hall: "What are the fans to blame for their team beating Hapoel Tel Aviv? How long will you turn a blind eye in this case?".
Maccabi Tel Aviv board member Danny Federman responded on social media and said: "The most important thing is that they don't check IDs."
