GUARDIAN EUROPE: Airport in Russia’s Muslim southern region closed after hundreds storm tarmac and climb on to planes

A mob in Russia’s mostly Muslim region of Dagestan has stormed the airport in Makhachkala in search of Jewish passengers arriving from Israel.

In the past day, local people have besieged a hotel in search of Jewish guests and stormed the airport after reports emerged that a flight from Tel Aviv was arriving in the city. While no one appears to have been seriously injured or killed in the riots, passengers have been forced to take refuge in planes or hide in the airport for fear of being attacked. » | Andrew Roth | Sunday, October 29, 2023
