- Prosecutor seeks NIS 100,000 fines for Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Petah Tikva over fan disturbances.
- A suspended one-point deduction is also requested for Beitar Jerusalem.

The Football Association prosecutor, Gilead Bergman, is demanding a fine of NIS 100,000 for both Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Petah Tikva following disturbances that preceded their match at the Shlomo Biton Stadium. Bergman also requested a suspended one-point deduction for Beitar. The match itself concluded with a 1-0 victory for Beitar, with Yarden Shua scoring the sole goal.
The incident began when Beitar fans, who had purchased tickets for the home team's stands, crossed the field to reach their own section. Hapoel Petah Tikva fans also entered the pitch, confronting the visiting supporters. Additional Beitar fans from another stand then joined the altercation. Security personnel intervened to separate the groups, and the involved individuals returned to their stands shortly thereafter.
While the possibility of actual point deductions exists, the prosecutor's demand does not include such a penalty for either club. The final decision on the sanctions will be made by the Football Association's disciplinary tribunal.
