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.

    Reuters, AP, and NYT don’t cover it comprehensively, but there is single-sentence coverage in almost every daily summary:

    The biggest difference is that Israel at least claims to be bombing military infrastructure - barracks, magazines, rocket launch sites, etc. Hamas are aiming primarily at civilians.

      Israel has stated its aim is to cause as much damage as possible.

      4000 children killed by Israel. I guess someone will be around to blame this on Hamas using human shields.
