The Israeli Football Association prosecutor is seeking fines totaling NIS 100,000 against Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Petah Tikva following a brawl that erupted on the field before their recent match. The prosecutor, Adv. Gilead Bergman, also requested an additional fine and a conditional point deduction for Beitar Jerusalem due to the lighting of flares by their fans.

The incidents occurred before the game's kickoff when several Beitar Jerusalem supporters, seated in the Hapoel Petah Tikva section, entered the field in an attempt to reach their own team's stands. This led to an exchange of curses between the fan groups, escalating into a physical altercation on the pitch before the match officially began. The prosecutor's demands also include penalties for fans invading the field and causing disturbances.
