A huge mob today stormed Dagestan's main airport looking for Israeli citizens following reports that a plane was arriving from the country.
Hundreds of protestors stormed the Makhachkala airport in the Russian republic to protest the landing of a Red Wings airliner coming from Tel Aviv, Russian news agencies and social media reported.
The protesters, some carrying Palestinian flags, broke through doors in the terminal, with some running onto the runway while others broke barriers, aiming to check the cars leaving the airport, according to videos posted online.
The Red Wings flight was reportedly forced to divert from the airport following the presence of the mob and landed at a different destination, according to Israeli television network Channel 12.
However, riots had also broken out there too, with passengers told to stay in their seats while riot police were called in to protect them, the broadcaster added
Many people in the crowd that stormed the Makhachkala airport were reportedly chanting 'Allahu Akbar' while others were shouting antisemitic slogans, according to Russsian news agencies.
Video on social media showed some in the crowd waving Palestinian flags, with one protester seen holding a sign reading 'Child killers have no place in Dagestan'.
Footage also showed protesters attempting to overturn a police car and others checking the passports of passengers who had arrived in Makhachkala, according to the AFP.
The majority of Dagestan residents are Muslim and the region is reportedly regarded as an important centre of Islam in the Caucasus and former Soviet Union.
