Russian police have taken over an Airport in the predominantly Muslim Dagestan region after hundreds of anti-Israel protesters stormed the facility.
According to reports, twenty people were wounded at the airport before security forces contained the unrest.
The unrest followed several other anti-Israel incidents in recent days in Russia’s North Caucasus region in response to Israel’s war against Hamas militants in Gaza.
In a statement, the Russian Aviation Authority said it has closed the airport for flights until it completes security checks
