Footage reportedly from the scene shared on local Telegram channels showed rioters chanting “Allahu Akbar” and stopping cars in order to check the documents of passengers to ensure they were not Israeli or Jewish. The Russian state-owned RIA Novosti outlet reported that police officers and the National Guard were present at the scene while the riots took place and that the airport had been closed due to the entry of rioters to the airport.

In Khasavyurt, also located in Dagestan, rioters gathered at a hotel where Israelis who had fled the fighting were reported to be staying, with some of the rioters entering the hotel and only leaving after ensuring that no Israelis were in the hotel.

    No. The Israeli-Gazan border has been sealed since October 7th, and the Rafah Crossing has been similarly closed for egress.

    But I’m sure if they did, they wouldn’t have a mob waiting for them to land to hunt them down, or raiding a hotel inspecting passports.

        No. Targeting civilians is not “fair”.

            Oh, we do not disagree on that.

            Don’t mistake condemnation of crime A to be a lack of condemnation of crime B, just because the perps of A and B oppose each other.

              He’s all for targeting the Jews. That’s why he also made no mention of thousands of Hamas rockets shot at Israeli civilian centers either.

        Do you also think that Hamas’ strike on 7 October was a fair response to Israeli occupation?

        Horrific actions should be condemned, regardless of who commits them or what excuse they give.

          What about the thousands of rockets fired at civilian centers driving people into shelters constantly?

        I’m pretty sure the Israelis would let the people from Gaza leave, if anybody would take them.

          That famous Israeli goodwill towards Palestinians must explain why they’re blockading food and fuel from the civilian population.

            They have plenty of fuel and food in Gaza. Hamas has months of it stored up
