Disturbing vision has emerged of a group of anti-Israel protesters storming a Russian airport in search of passengers who had flown in from the Jewish state.
The rioters converged on the Makhachkala Uytash Airport in the Republic of Dagestan on Sunday where they breached security to search for the plane, which had just arrived from Tel Aviv.
Some social media users described the incident as a modern day “pogrom”, while others labelled the events as “terrifying”. The republic’s governor Sergei Melikov posted on messaging app Telegram shortly after the airport was secured and said the incident was “outrageous”. The rioters found their way onto the tarmac and surrounded a plane operated by a Russian airline which had recently arrived from Tel Aviv. Picture: AP Photo“Appalling videos from Makhachkala, Russia, where an angry mob broke into the airport searching for Israeli citizens on the flight from Tel-Aviv,” he wrote.
“And to take strong action against the rioters and against the wild incitement being directed against Jews and Israelis,” the statement read.
