00:00 In a disturbing incident on Sunday, October 29, a mob descended upon an airport in Russia's

00:14 Caucasus Republic of Dagestan, frantically searching for Israelis and Jews.

00:20 The chaos unfolded as rumours circulated that a flight from Israel was due to arrive.

00:30 Dozens of protesters, many of them chanting Muslim religious slogans, broke through doors

00:35 and barriers with some running onto the runway, according to videos posted on social media

00:40 and Russian media.

00:45 Following the incident, Russia's aviation agency swiftly declared the closure of airport

00:58 safety of all personnel and passengers.

01:07 The Republic's health ministry issued a statement acknowledging injuries resulting from the

01:12 chaotic incident, though specific details regarding the number of casualties and their

01:22 Later on Sunday, Russia's aviation agency confirmed that the airport had been successfully

01:27 reclaimed from the mob, but it would remain closed until November 6 for security reasons.

01:46 In some of the videos, a protester was prominently featured holding a sign that read, "Child

01:54 killers have no place in Dagestan," conveying a powerful message of condemnation.

02:17 said, "Israel expects the Russian authorities to protect all Israeli citizens and all Jews,

02:25 and to act decisively against the rioters and against incitement to violence against

03:01 and boasts a deep Islamic heritage with a history of Sufism and scholarship.

03:12 clashes between Islamist militant groups and Russian security forces.
