Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Within the framework of this law, a new and dedicated criminal offense was established prohibiting the throwing of pyrotechnic devices at sporting events. The law defines a "pyrotechnic device" as one that includes a range of chemical means whose activation produces sounds of explosion, smoke, or light, including firecrackers. According to the law, there is an absolute prohibition on throwing these devices during a sporting event or in proximity to it, whether the throwing is carried out within the venue where the event is held or is directed toward such a place from outside. It was determined that a person convicted of throwing a pyrotechnic device at a sporting event or toward it is liable to a penalty of three years' imprisonment, in contrast to the penalty previously set in the law for the general offense of throwing an object, which amounted to a monetary fine only.
