Israeli media aired footage from Makhachkala airport in Dagestan appearing to show scores of young people, incensed at the Gaza war, storming the tarmac in search of passengers from a flight that had been due to land from Tel Aviv. In a statement released Sunday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said 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."
While voicing support for Gaza, the regional Dagestani government appealed to citizens to remain calm and not take part in such protests. "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 to Telegram.
