Israel Police have finalized preparations for a major soccer match between Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Hapoel Tel Aviv, scheduled for this evening at 8:30 PM at Toto Turner Stadium in Be'er Sheva. Hundreds of police officers, along with ushers and security guards, will be deployed in the stadium vicinity and on nearby roads starting early afternoon to maintain order, ensure fan safety, and manage traffic. Stadium gates will open to the public at 6:30 PM. Police emphasize that all fans will undergo thorough security checks and urge attendees to comply with instructions from officers and ushers. Weapons will not be permitted inside the stadium, with the exception of police officers' service weapons. Four main streets will be closed to traffic starting at 6:00 PM: David Elazar-Ha'Etzel, Shoshet Yamim-Ha'Etzel, Yehuda Halevi-Even Ezra, and Shderot Reger-HaTzadik MiYerushalayim. Access to these areas will be restricted to authorized vehicles only. Parking will be available along HaTzadik MiYerushalayim street and from the Conch Shell Square to Ha'Etzel street. Hapoel Tel Aviv fans can park near the northern entrance from Route 406. Roads will reopen between 8:30 PM and 10:00 PM but will be closed again after the match concludes. Police warn of significant traffic congestion on routes leading to the stadium due to these arrangements. Additional prohibitions include the use of drones, bringing alcohol into the stadium, or entering under the influence of alcohol. Fan support equipment requires prior approval, and flares or other pyrotechnics are strictly forbidden. Throwing flares onto the field could lead to the game being stopped. Clothing that covers the face, such as ski masks, is also prohibited, with violators facing a 500 shekel fine and a ban from soccer fields. Plainclothes and uniformed officers will also be present to combat ticket scalping. Moving between stadium gates or disobeying instructions will be handled according to the law. In the event of a missile threat, fans are instructed to remain in their seats, crouch, protect their heads, follow security forces' orders, and monitor Home Front Command updates.
