Hundreds of individuals stormed an airport in Russia to hunt down Israelis flying in from Tel Aviv, according to multiple reports.
Terrifying video shows the horde flooding into the Makhachkala International Airport in the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan in Russia. The mob is seen waving Palestine flags and are heard shouting: “Allahu Akbar.”
The Moscow Times reported, “The flight from Tel Aviv landed at 7:17 p.m. local time, according to the airport’s website, after which the protesters stormed into the airport, breaking past security and running onto the tarmac.”
The mob allegedly stormed the tarmac to search for any incoming flights carrying Jews.
The demonstrators reportedly held up signs that read: “Child killers have no place in Dagestan” and “We are against Jewish refugees.”
According to the Jerusalem Post, “Footage reportedly from the scene shared on local Telegram channels showed rioters chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and stopping cars in order to check the documents of passengers to ensure they were not Israeli or Jewish.”
The Russian state-owned RIA Novosti media outlet reported that Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency had temporarily closed the Makhachkala airport for arrivals and departures due to the swarm of angry people.
“The measures are in effect until the situation normalizes. Law enforcement agencies are working on the spot,” the agency stated.
Unconfirmed videos show a chaotic scene at the Makhachkala Airport as it was breached by the mob.
The Times of Israel reported, “An Israeli security official says the incident in Dagestan’s capital of Makhachkala is ongoing after a plane from Israel was attacked by a local pro-Palestinian mob.”
The official told the outlet, “A limited number of Israelis and Jews are currently isolated and under guard at the airport. We are working on having them depart on a connection flight to Moscow once conditions allow. Israeli security officials and the Israeli ambassador are working with the local security authorities.”
