Former Israeli Premier League football player Ali Khatib, who previously played for Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Haifa and currently plays for Sakhnin, was arrested late last night by the Sakhnin police on suspicion of threatening his sister. The arrest followed a series of written messages sent to his sister and other family members starting last Friday, which police described as "severe threats."
The 37-year-old player's detention was sought for an additional week by police. However, the Haifa Magistrate's Court ordered his release to house arrest in Tamra until this coming Sunday. As part of his release conditions, the judge permitted Khatib to leave for a football match in Sakhnin.
Khatib is prohibited from contacting directly or indirectly anyone involved in the case, including his sister, for 30 days as a condition of his release.
