The incident occurred as Levin attended his team's game against Ironi Tiberias, which Hapoel Tel Aviv ultimately won 1-0 via a late penalty. While the game itself featured on-field drama, including an early red card for Hapoel, a more significant confrontation unfolded in the stands.

The fans accused him of responsibility for the deaths of "1,200 people in one day" and "so many Hapoel Tel Aviv fans" who they claimed died because of him. They also called him "a piece of shit" and declared, "You're finished, you have no more."
Levin's long-standing support for Hapoel Tel Aviv has often drawn public attention due to the club's historical association with the left-wing, contrasting with Levin's senior position in the right-wing Likud party.
