A flight from Israel to Russia was diverted and faced riots at the next airport it landed at, as pro-Palestinian mobs stormed the facilities seeking to attack Jewish flyers. The flight, initially bound for Makhachkala International Airport in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, was diverted after a group of people waving Palestinian flags took over the facility upon learning of the flight from Tel Aviv. The aircraft landed at a nearby airport, which was also stormed by rioters. Videos posted on social media showed people hopping fences and attempting to reach the plane. Airport staff warned passengers to stay inside the aircraft as the facility was overrun. Rioters allegedly checked the passports of travelers to see if they were Jewish and forced some passengers to denounce Israel on camera. Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed that there were no Jewish passengers on the flight, but other Jewish passengers at the airport were scheduled to be evacuated to Moscow. Flights to and from Makhachkala were temporarily suspended due to the security breaches.
