Ethiopian Jews in Israel have long complained of institutionalized racism and discrimination and have participated in several protests for equal rights in the past. There are at least 140,000 Ethiopian Jews in the country, including at least 50,000 who were born in Israel.
Ethiopian Jews protested for a third straight day on Wednesday against the killing of a young Ethiopian Israeli by an off-duty police officer.
Solomon Teka's killing has sparked a debate in Israel about racism and police brutality. The Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel is particularly outraged by the incident, saying they live in constant fear of police harassment due to their black skin color.
Over a hundred police officers have been hurt by stones, bottles and petrol bombs during the three days of protests.
