Israel has raised its alert for the North Caucuses region of Russia to 4, its highest level, and urges citizens to leave, following an antisemitic mob attack yesterday at an airport in Dagestan.

A joint statement from the National Security Council and the Foreign Ministry says that, due to concerns over the incident yesterday and worries about repeat events, Israeli citizens should avoid those areas, and those already there should leave.
