Protesters broke into an airport in a mostly Muslim region during the Israel-Hamas conflict, prompting Russia to close the airport and send security forces. There were injuries reported, and the airport will remain closed until November 6.

The violence in the mostly Muslim region, which erupted amid the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, prompted Israel to call on Russia to protect its citizens.Dozens of protesters, many of them chanting"Allahu Akbar" broke through doors and barriers, with some running onto the runway, according to videos posted on social media and Russia 's RT and Izvestia media.

Several local Telegram channels showed photos and videos of dozens of men waiting outside the airport to stop cars. Hamas militants stormed across the Gaza border on October 7 in the deadliest attack in Israel's history, indiscriminately killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 230 others, according to Israeli officials.

The Dagestan government posted on Telegram appealing to those involved to stop their"illegal acts" despite their anger over the"inhumane massacre of a civilian population -- the Palestinian people. "But what happened at our airport is outrageous and should receive the appropriate assessment from law enforcement. This will be done."

Earlier on Sunday, the RIA Novosti news agency reported that a Jewish centre in another North Caucasus republic -- Kabardino-Balkaria -- had been set on fire in the city of Nalchik.
