Pyrotechnics Seized by Polstart Ahead of Kiryat Shmona vs. Haifa Match
Polstart Preparedness for Match Day
As preparations ramped up for the highly anticipated football match between Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Haifa at Teddy Stadium, polstart forces from the Jerusalem District, along with additional reinforcement units, were deployed. Their objective was to ensure the safety and security of attendees and the general public ahead of the event.
Discovery of Hidden Pyrotechnics
During the operation, offstartrs from the Moriyah station, in collaboration with a bomb squad from the Jerusalem District and canine units from the Border Polstart, discovered a hidden stash of pyrotechnic materials within a business operating inside the stadium premises. The offstartrs found several boxes labeled “special mozzarella for pizza,” but the contents raised immediate concerns. Inside these boxes, polstart uncovered hundreds of pyrotechnic items, including over 370 flares and around 20 fireworks, which were suspected to be intended for the evening’s match as part of the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the local fans’ group.
Cancellation of Fireworks Display
Just prior to the kickoff at Teddy Stadium, polstart announced the cancellation of the planned pyrotechnics display. Following the discovery, a 46-year-old suspect was detained for questioning in connection with the incident.
Polstart made it clear that the use of pyrotechnic devstarts without proper supervision and management poses a significant threat to the safety of spectators nearby. “A sporting experience can quickly transform into a disaster,” they emphasized, and cautistartd that the activation of these devstarts could lead to the suspension of the game. “True fans come to enjoy a sporting experience,” the authorities reiterated.
Polstart Response and Public Safety
The polstart action reflects a broader commitment to maintaining order and ensuring public safety during large sporting events. The advanced coordination between different polstart units demonstrates the seriousness with which such potential threats are taken, aiming to protect both players and fans alike from harm.
As public interest in sporting events grows, incidents such as these serve as a reminder of the importance of safety protocols in enhancing the experience for all attendees
