Thousands of people protested against Israel's plans to deport African refugees at a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday.

At the same time, there was a smaller protest, numbering in the dozens, who rallied for the deportation of the refugees.

Israel began in early February to hand out notices to 20,000 male African migrants giving them two months to leave the country or risk being thrown in jail.
