ICERAS

On the 3 December 2019, four Eritrean men brutally attacked two Eritrean refugees in Tel Aviv, Israel.

In attacks which were to all intents and purposes unprovoked, the two refugees were beaten and stabbed. One died two days later from his injuries, and the other is still in hospital recovering from his wounds. The motive for these attacks remains unclear.

Kiros Tesfamichael Bariagaber, the first victim was attacked whilst cycling, at around 3:00a.m in the morning.  The gang of four stopped him in the street, beat him, stabbed him all over his body and left him for dead. Mr Bariagaber, who came to Israel in 2012, was 35 years old and the father of three children who are still in Eritrea. As the gang was beating and stabbing him, he was heard to cry out repeatedly “my children! my children!” readmore
