The Israeli Basketball Premier League has initiated a coordinated effort to relocate foreign players and their families outside the country following the recent escalation of the security situation, according to Israel Hayom.

Players are being transferred to Sofia through Jordan, where they will remain together in a controlled environment organized by Hapoel Tel Aviv, allowing them to continue training while staying safe.

At the same time, Hapoel Jerusalem will play its upcoming EuroCup games in Belgrade, while Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to operate from Sofia until conditions improve.

League officials reiterated that the goal remains completing the season by late June, depending on further developments.
