Investigation Finds No Football Link in Arson of Senior Referee's Car

Three suspects were questioned at the Ashkelon police station on suspicion of involvement in the arson of Gal Leibovitz's car, a senior football referee, which occurred three months ago. The suspects were released under restrictive conditions, and the investigation is ongoing. Police sources clarified that the arson is not connected to Leibovitz's role as a football referee. The primary line of inquiry points to a matter related to one of Leibovitz's close associates, unrelated to him personally or his position with the Ashkelon basketball team. Leibovitz fully cooperated with the police, stating he has no enemies and no personal conflicts. Following the incident, the league management strongly condemned the act, calling it a shocking act of violence with no place in society and expressed hope that the perpetrators will be brought to justice, wishing Leibovitz and his family peace and safety.
