JERUSALEM — An African asylum seeker was shot by an Israeli guard who mistook him for an assailant and was then kicked by a mob as he lay bleeding before he died, according to a video posted Monday amid a wave of violence that has left the nation on edge.
The Israeli police launched an investigation into what local media described as a “lynching” Sunday against an innocent man — shot amid the chaos of an attack that left an Israeli soldier dead. It was not immediately clear whether the African man died from the gunshot, the beating or a combination of the two.

Illegal immigration from Africa to Israel (often also referred to as ‘infiltration’ by the Israeli media and by Israeli government organizations; however, this has been criticized) refers to the act of African nationals entering Israel in violation of Israeli law. This phenomena began in the second half of the 2000s, when a large number of immigrants from Africa entered Israel, mainly through the fenced border between Israel and Egypt. According to the data of the Israeli Interior Ministry, the number of these illegal immigrants amounted to 26,635 people to July 2010, and over 55,000 in January 2012. African asylum seekers comprise 0.5% of Israel’s population. Most African migrants are generally regarded to be legitimate asylum seekers by various human rights organizations.
In a discussion held by the police commissioner Dudi Cohen in December 2010, he stated that while there is a decline in cases of robberies in the general population, there is a dramatic increase in this type of crime among the illegal immigrants. According to the research department of the Israel Police and Israel’s foreign immigrants’ crime is characterized by predominantly sectoral internal crime, in which a gun is not reported, and illegal immigrants generally have no interest in complaining to the police.[20] Due to an increase in criminal acts and the feeling of insecurity among the residents of southern Tel Aviv, the Israeli police established a new station near the New central bus station and the Shapira neighborhood. The station includes approximately 100 police officers and is expected to accommodate about 150 police officers. According to the data of the Israeli Police, which was presented to the Knesset in March 2012, from 2007 there was a steady increase in the involvement in crime of the illegal immigrants, both due to the significant increase in their numbers and for various other reasons. In 2011, 1,200 criminal cases were opened against illegal immigrants from Africa, half of them in the Tel Aviv district. This is an increase of 54% in comparison to the previous year.
