01 · THE DISPATCH

Michael Zandberg, a former winger for Maccabi Haifa and the Israeli national team, alleged on X that bailiffs seized his car over a disputed debt. According to Zandberg, a man over 1.90 meters tall carrying handcuffs and a pistol was waiting by his vehicle. The seizure stems from a claim he tried to evade payment, but Zandberg says the underlying 3,000-shekel debt was caused by a failed automatic bank transfer. The rental company is now demanding 20,000 shekels in arrears. No prior reporting on this incident by The Zioneer.
