The Ramla Magistrate's Court decided to overturn the conviction of former soccer player Itzik Zohar, who had previously pleaded guilty and was convicted of assaulting his former partner. The judge accepted the probation service's recommendation and ordered rehabilitative punishment - 150 hours of community service instead of a criminal conviction. The decision was made contrary to the prosecution's position, which insisted on maintaining the conviction due to the severity of the act and the importance of the message to the public. However, the judge determined that the circumstances of the case and the rehabilitation process Zohar underwent justified the erasure of the conviction.
