(Hai Pa) – During the operational preparations of the Israel Police for the football game that took place tonight (Monday, 7/4/25) at Sammy Ofer Stadium, between the teams Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva, Carmel Area Police – Haifa Station – arrested a number of fans, on suspicion of dangerous disturbances.
According to the police, during a foot parade in which hundreds of fans participated near the stadium, some of the participants set off flares, smoke grenades, and fireworks, in violation of the law and posing a real risk to public safety.
The suspected fans were detained for further investigation.
The police emphasized that they view the use of pyrotechnic devices at sporting events with great severity, especially when this is done in a crowded crowd – an action that could result in injuries and even disaster.
I hope they get relegated next season and play with their brothers in the villages, it suits them and their leftist crowd.
Attacking police officers.. Where have we come to..
Maccabi Haifa "gave in" to the disorderly fans and did not permanently suspend or cut ties with violent gangs in the Green Monkeys - and this is the result.
What is happening to Maccabi and also to Maccabi Deans. The champion is really unbelievable how far we have deteriorated. We must do a home inspection why what is happening to Maccabi Haifa and its players. I saw everything first, I was disappointed, I stopped watching the game. Hapoel Beer Sheva players are showing leg injuries every second. Shame and disgrace, not the football of yesteryear.
Fans are frustrated with the Maccabi Haifa game
Frustration brings restlessness and violence,
In my opinion, it is up to the honorable president of the club to impose a fine.
About the entire team, from the coach to the last player
About losses in almost every game, of a magnificent club
Maccabi Haifa senior football team.
Very unfortunate and frustrating.
