Event

Eritreans are protesting near Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv Oct. 5. Protesters are denouncing the police's perceived inaction in handling recent violent clashes between supporters and opponents of the Eritrean government. Hundreds are reportedly participating in the event.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site through the afternoon of Oct. 5. While the demonstration will probably pass peacefully, minor skirmishes between police and activists remain possible, especially if protesters become overly disruptive.
