The derby in Tel Aviv between Hapoel and Maccabi was canceled on Sunday evening due to the serious violence that occurred before and during the match. The local police stated that the incidents constituted a breach of public order, with 12 civilians and three police officers injured due to the throwing of smoke bombs and pyrotechnic devices.
Following the altercations, law enforcement arrested nine suspects and detained another 16. Hapoel Tel-Aviv club condemned the violence and emphasized that supporters should not be exposed to such situations. The cancellation of the match comes after a similar scandal in England, where police banned Maccabi Tel-Aviv fans from traveling to a match due to security concerns.
