Israeli police fired stun grenades to break up the clashes, while some protesters hurled stones at police and set fire to trash bins, Reuters journalists at the scene said. Footage on social media showed Eritrean government supporters beating anti-government protesters with clubs.
The violence broke out around an event organised by the Eritrean embassy to mark Revolution Day on Sept. 1, which commemorates the start of the Eritrean War of Independence against Ethiopia in 1961. I "Why did we run from our country?," one protester in Tel Aviv, Hagos Gavriot, told Reuters. "Why the Israeli police gave them a permit to celebrate...for this dictator? We are against this. Why am I here seeking a shelter?"
"At this time, large police and Border Police forces continue to operate against lawbreakers in the Tel Aviv area," an Israeli police statement said.
