Former Israeli Premier League and Palestinian national team footballer Ali Khatib was arrested on suspicion of sending threatening messages to his sister and other family members. The police described the content of the messages, which began last Friday, as "severe threats." Khatib, who previously played for Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Haifa and currently plays in Sakhnin, was detained by police on Tuesday.

While police sought to extend his detention for seven days, the Haifa Magistrate's Court ordered his release to house arrest in Tamra until Sunday. The judge also permitted Khatib to leave house arrest to participate in a football match in Sakhnin.

As part of his release conditions, Khatib is prohibited from contacting the individuals involved in the case, including his sister, directly or indirectly, for 30 days.
