Holon fan jailed for throwing firecracker that blew guard's fingers off

The Jerusalem District Court on Monday sentenced Hapoel Holon basketball fan Yossi Malach to three years in jail for throwing a firecracker onto the court during a match against Hapeol Jerusalem last year. The court also ordered Malach to pay 150,000 shekels to security guard Yoav Glitzenstein, who lost two fingers in the blast. Malach admitted to the offense and was convicted in a plea bargain agreement five months ago.
