Neighbors say attack was racially motivated

(JTA) — Unidentified attackers threw Molotov cocktails at several residences of African migrants in Tel Aviv.

The attacks, which occurred Friday morning, were directed at four houses of migrants from Sudan and Eritrea, as well as at a public park where some migrants sleep. No one was injured in the incident, though there was damage to one building.

Police have characterized the attacks as “attempted arson.” Some neighbors of the refugees claim that the attacks were racially motivated.
