LOOKING FOR JEWS. This frame grab taken from video footage posted on the Telegram channel @askrasul on Sunday shows protesters on the apron area of an airport in Makhachkala. A mob looking for Israelis and Jews overran the airport in Russia’s Caucasus republic of Dagestan, after rumors spread that a flight was arriving from Israel.
The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin will gather top advisers and spy chiefs Monday to discuss the “West’s attempts to use the events in the Middle East to split Russian society.” “Against the backdrop of TV footage showing the horrors of what is happening in the Gaza Strip — the deaths of people, children, old people, it is very easy for enemies to take advantage of and provoke the situation,” Peskov said.Russia’s foreign ministry later singled out Kyiv and blamed the “criminal Kyiv regime” for taking “a direct and key role in carrying out the latest destructive act.
The airport reopened Monday, but authorities reported some damage and an airline said its flights to Israel in the coming days were cancelled. Prominent figures in Dagestan have spoken in support of the Palestinians and against Israel since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
