   Hundreds of people have stormed the main airport in Russia’s Dagestan   
   region, ostensibly to protest against the arrival of a flight from Israel   
   amid the war in Gaza.   
      
   The crowd on Sunday broke past security, with some making it onto the   
   runway of Makhachkala airport, before they were removed by security   
   forces.   
      
   “More than 150 active participants in the unrest have been identified, 60   
   of them have been arrested,” Russia’s interior ministry said in a   
   statement. Nine police officers were injured in clashes with the crowd,   
   including two who were receiving treatment at a hospital.   
      
   Local news reports said the airliner in question belonged to Russian   
   carrier Red Wings.   
      
   Social media footage showed scared passengers rushing to re-enter the   
   plane amid commotion on the runway of Makhachkala airport.   
      
   Videos also showed the protesting crowd breaking down glass doors and   
   running through the airport, with some chanting anti-Jewish slogans. On   
   the landing field, some were seen waving Palestinian flags and others   
   checking the passports of arriving passengers.   
      
   Several local Telegram channels also showed photos and videos of dozens of   
   people waiting outside the airport seemingly to stop cars. Another group   
   were seen trying to topple over a patrol truck. One protester could be   
   seen in the videos holding a sign reading: “Child killers have no place in   
   Dagestan”.   
      
   The incident comes as Israel pushes forward with expanded ground   
   operations inside the Gaza Strip, even as heavy aerial bombardment   
   continues. Officials in Gaza say more than 8,000 Palestinians, including   
   3,324 children, have been killed since the war began on October 7, when   
   Hamas, the group running the besieged enclave launched a surprise attack   
   inside Israel. At least 1,400 Israelis and foreign nationals have been   
   killed in the Hamas attack, according to Israeli officials.   
      
   In a statement released on Sunday night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin   
   Netanyahu’s office said that Israel “expects the Russian law enforcement   
   authorities to protect the safety of all Israeli citizens and Jews   
   wherever they may be and to act resolutely against the rioters and against   
   the wild incitement directed against Jews and Israelis”.   
      
   Earlier on Sunday, the RIA Novosti news agency reported that a Jewish   
   centre in the city of Nalchik, in the nearby republic of Kabardino-   
   Balkaria, had been set on fire.   
      
   Several Israeli media outlets reported, citing Israeli security officials,   
   that the Israeli passengers were isolated and guarded at Makhachkala   
   airport after the incident in Dagestan. According to the reports, the plan   
   was to fly them directly on to Moscow.   
      
   Appeals for calm   
   Russia’s civilian aviation agency, Rosaviatsia, reported late on Sunday   
   that the airfield had been cleared of unauthorised people but that the   
   airport would tentatively remain closed to incoming aircraft until   
   November 6.   
      
   While voicing support for Gaza, the regional government in Muslim-majority   
   Dagestan appealed to citizens to remain calm and not take part in such   
   protests.   
      
   The government warned the protesters on Telegram “not to continue illegal   
   acts and not to interfere with the work of airport employees”.   
      
   The statement added: “It is not easy for each of us to stand and watch the   
   inhumane massacre of a civilian population – the Palestinian people. At   
   the same time, we urge residents of the republic not to succumb to   
   provocations of destructive groups and not to create panic in society.”   
      
   The Supreme Mufti of Dagestan, Sheikh Akhmad Afandi, had also called on   
   residents to stop the unrest at the airport.   
      
   “You are mistaken. This issue cannot be resolved in this way. We   
   understand and perceive your indignation very painfully… We will solve   
   this issue differently. Not with rallies, but appropriately. Maximum   
   patience and calm for you,” he said in a video published on Telegram.   
      
   Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the White House National Security   
   Council, condemned the incident and said the United States “unequivocally   
   stands with the entire Jewish community as we witness a worldwide surge in   
   antisemitism”.
