Israeli
police say four men will appear in court in connection with the beating
of an Eritrean man during an attack by an Arab citizen at a bus station
that killed an Israeli soldier and wounded several people.
A
private security guard shot the Eritrean, thinking he was an attacker.
As the Eritrean lay on the ground, a mob of people cursed him, kicked
him and hit him with objects. The Eritrean later died.
Rosenfeld says it is not clear if the men will be charged.
============================
Some 2,000
people, mainly asylum seekers from Eritrea, gathered in Tel Aviv’s
Levinsky park on Wednesday for a memorial service for Habtom Zarhum, the
Eritrean asylum seeker who died after being shot and assaulted by a mob
at the Be’er Sheva bus terminal on Sunday night. [...]
Some of the mourners wept and told Haaretz they
did not believe Zarhum was killed accidentally. “I’ve never seen such a
thing, only in the Sinai or in the Islamic State,” said Eden, an asylum
seeker from Eritrea, referring to the video clips of Zarhum’s killing.
“If they had shot him once it might have been a mistake, but shooting
him again and again is not a mistake. People trampled on him and threw
things at him. The police were there. Why didn’t they stop it?” she
said. [...]
