Anti-Eritrean government activists, left, clash with supporters of the Eritrean government, in Tel Aviv
Eritreans from both sides faced off with construction lumber, pieces of metal, rocks and at least one axe, tearing through a neighbourhood of southern Tel Aviv where many asylum seekers live.One government supporter was lying in a puddle of blood in a children’s playground. Police said Eritrean government supporters and opponents had received permission for separate events on Saturday and had promised to stay away from each other.“A decision was made by the government opponents to break through the barriers, to clash with the police, to throw stones, to hit police officers,” Mr Bublil told reporters at the scene.The Magen David Adom rescue service said at least 114 people were hurt, including eight who were in serious condition.
Eritreans make up the majority of the more than 30,000 African asylum seekers in Israel. They say they fled danger and persecution from a country known as the “North Korea of Africa” with forced lifetime military conscription in slavery-like conditions.
