i24 News – The violent riot by Eritrean asylum seekers in Tel Aviv were quelled and the situation under control, Israeli police confirmed Saturday, adding that at least 39 were arrested.
Magen David Adom (MDA) said paramedics provided medical treatment and evacuated a total of 121 wounded, including at least 30 police officers in a light condition and the rest protestors, of whom at least 14 were in a severe condition and 13 in a moderate, many of whom were reported as foreign nationals.
Clashes began outside a south Tel Aviv venue that was set to host a pro-regime event organized by the Eritrean embassy in Israel.
Hundreds of anti-government Eritreans came to the site to prevent it from taking place. Police declared the gathering an illegal demonstration and ordered the street to be emptied.
