New crowd limits could affect the Tel Aviv derby in the playoff final
Following an Israeli Air Force strike in Lebanon on Sunday, Israel is preparing for the possibility of an Iranian response, and the Home Front Command announced new nationwide rules on public gatherings. The restrictions could affect Tuesday’s first game in the playoff final series between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Under the new guidance, gatherings across Israel are limited to 5,000 people. The order is currently in force only until Monday at 20:00.
If the restrictions are lifted and not extended, the game can be played as planned with a full arena. If they are extended, the match will have to be held with a reduced crowd.
The article says the issue is now under review ahead of the opening game of the championship series.
