Israel Police on Sunday evening arrested a man at Menora Mivtachim Hall carrying 59 flares and a substance suspected to be cocaine, ahead of the Tel Aviv basketball derby, police said.
Israel Police said Sunday evening that officers arrested a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan at Menora Mivtachim Hall ahead of the Tel Aviv basketball derby, seizing 59 flares and a substance suspected to be cocaine. The suspect was taken into custody; police did not immediately provide further details on charges or court proceedings. The arrest follows a separate incident earlier Sunday, as The Zioneer reported, in which police detained another Maccabi Tel Aviv fan at the same venue in possession of 59 flares, though that earlier bulletin did not mention suspected drugs. Both incidents occurred on the same day ahead of the high-profile local derby.
