Russia airport forced to shut down as mob searches for Jews on Israel flight, Video captures alarming incident

Following reports that a plane was scheduled to arrive from Israel, a crowd searching for Jews and Israelis seized an airport in Dagestan, a republic in the Caucasus region of Russia, on Sunday.

Israel has called on Russia to defend its residents due to the violence that has broken out in the predominantly Muslim territory during the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Dagestani governor vowed to punish anyone accountable for the incident.

Videos on social media and from Russia’s RT and Izvestia media show that dozens of demonstrators smashed past doors and barriers, with some even running onto the runway. Many of them were yelling “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest).

Soon after, the airport was declared closed to all inbound and outgoing aircraft by Russia’s aviation agency, Rosaviatsiya, and security personnel had been stationed there.

“The situation is under control,” the local government posted on Telegram.

The republic’s health ministry released a statement stating that there had been injuries, but it did not specify how many people or what specifically had been damaged.

Rosaviatsiya declared late on Sunday that the airport will be closed until November 6, after it was “freed” from the crowd.

Dozens of guys were seen in pictures and videos posted on several local Telegram channels, waiting outside the airport to halt automobiles.

In the videos, there was a protester holding a sign that said, “Child killers have no place in Dagestan.”
