The riots last night (Saturday) in South Tel Aviv, between supporters and opponents of the Eritrean regime, left close to 200 people injured when rocks and scooters were thrown at businesses in the area, causing extensive damage to equipment worth hundreds of thousands of shekels. Today (Sunday) , in an interview, Erez, the owner of "Super-Super" in the southern part of the city, describes the situation in the area: "What's happening here is like Sodom and Gomorrah; no one takes us seriously."
Erez, the owner of the supermarket, began describing last night's events: "They called us yesterday at half-past ten, after there was a riot here, and it was impossible to approach. Only at 12 o'clock did we manage to arrive, after they had broken all the windows on the street. We've been warning about these dangers for two years now. Five months ago, they came and broke all the air conditioners here, and to this day, we haven't received any money from the insurance companies.
"What's happening here is like Sodom and Gomorrah. No one takes us seriously, even though the municipality collects signage tax, property tax, and every other tax from us. But there's no security here. If this had happened in the center or north of Tel Aviv, it simply wouldn't have happened. There, they have plenty of inspectors, city security, and more. Here, it's a different country, we've lost security, and that's what we've been warning about for two years."
