Mob In Russia airport in search of Jews

Israel has cautioned Russia to protect all its citizens and Jews after a large crowd shouting antisemitic slogans stormed a Dagestan airport.

Social media footage showed an angry mob running through Makhachkala’s airport searching for passengers coming on a flight from Tel Aviv.

Reports says some of the crowd ran onto the runway and surrounded aircraft there. Though the situation was eventually brought under control by security forces.

The airport was however closed on Sunday night. On Monday, the Russia’s aviation agency, Rosaviatsia, said the airport had reopened.

Rosaviatsia added that flights from Israel to the North Caucasus would be temporarily redirected to other destinations.

The interior ministry in the area has confirmed that about 60 of the alleged mob participants have been arrested.

One passenger, who said he was on the flight said he was stopped by the crowd.
