Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEthiopian protesters in Tel Aviv are clashing with police officers, some of whom are in plainclothes.
There are approximately 500-1,000 protesters at the rally and — according to Channel 2 — a staggering 700 police officers.
At least two people are detained, and are seen carried by four officers wearing heavy riot gear.
Elder religious leaders of the Ethiopian community arrived in an effort to temper the crowd, but the riot turns violent nevertheless.
