The boys allegedly saw the man in a park where they threw rocks and threatened him. They were to be remanded at a juvenile court in Tel Aviv.
In recent weeks, relations between local residents and foreign migrants have been strained in parts of Tel Aviv, and recent demonstrations have ended with violent confrontations and arrests.
