2 Eritrean citizens seriously wounded in clashes in south Tel Aviv, say police

Two Eritrean migrants are seriously wounded in a fight that broke out in south Tel Aviv, according to police.

A statement from the police says a violent argument broke out that included stone throwing and the use of clubs and spikes between warring Eritrean asylum seekers.

Two men in critical and serious condition were brought to a hospital for treatment, police say.

There has previously been similar violence among pro-regime and anti-regime Eritrean migrants in Israel, including major clashes in Tel Aviv last September, in which at least 170 people were hurt — including police officers. In May of this year, one man was killed and five others wounded in a similar brawl in south Tel Aviv.
