Around 140 people were injured as police tried to stop in-fighting between supporters and opponents of the Eritrean government.

Eritrea's embassy has accused media outlets and some Israeli officials of "distorting reality" by blaming the Eritrean community in Israel for the trouble.

It began after activists said that they had asked Israeli authorities to cancel an event organised by Eritrea's embassy.

The embassy did not name any groups, but an Eritrean social media user and a pro-government media outlet has said ethnic Tigrayan Ethiopians were responsible.
