A large brawl broke out between fans of Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Petah Tikva at the Shlomo Biton Stadium in Petah Tikva on Sunday evening, prior to the start of their game. Several fans, apparently from both teams, rushed onto the field and began fighting before the opening whistle. Stadium officials called for police assistance, and officers present immediately intervened, subdued the incident, and pushed the fans back into the stands before the match could begin.
Additionally, during security checks at the stadium entrance, two fans were suspected of attempting to enter without tickets. When asked to leave, police intervention was required to remove them. One fan resisted forcefully, leading to officers using force and arresting him.
