Pro-Palestinian Protestors Arrested in Dagestan Airport Riots

Hundreds of people stormed an airport in Russia's Dagestan region, searching for a plane carrying passengers from Tel Aviv. At least 20 people were injured, and 60 were arrested. Videos showed crowds surrounding planes, carrying Palestinian flags, and shouting anti-Semitic phrases. The riot occurred as the Israeli military intensified operations in Gaza. Pro-Palestinian protests took place worldwide, calling for a cease-fire. Russian leaders called for a mediated end to the conflict, while Israel urged Russian authorities to protect Israeli citizens and Jews. Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region, expressed support for Palestinians but condemned the airport incident. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticized Russia's culture of hatred towards other nations.
