"Violent Mob Targets Israelis at Dagestan Airport, Raises Safety Concerns"
A mob of anti-Israeli protesters stormed into Makhachkala International Airport in Dagestan, Russia, following calls on social media to block a flight from Tel Aviv. Demonstrators brandished Palestinian flags and shouted anti-Israel chants, with some signs expressing opposition to Jewish refugees. Protesters broke past security and ran onto the tarmac, surrounding a plane and jumping onto its wing. Flights to and from the airport were temporarily suspended, and a criminal case has been opened for "organizing mass disorder." The Israeli government stated that no Israeli nationals or Jewish people were onboard the flight. The region has seen a series of anti-Israeli demonstrations since Israel's response to Hamas attacks in October.
