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.

Dagestan’s most prominent religion is Islam with about 83% wikipedia, so it’s not that surprising that they both support the struggle of the people of Gaza, as well as protest the war in Ukraine wikipedia.

Surprising that they storm a hotel and an airport searching for jews and israelis though, no?

I think we can all agree they're going too far. Actively searching for people to kill is not okay and is shameful, no matter who they are. The bloodlust is just disgusting.

I agree that would be too far, but where do you read that they wanted to kill them? I only read that they want to expel them, which is perfectly understandable.
