Dagestan airport incident over, no Israelis hurt, Foreign Ministry says

The Israeli government says the incident at the airport in Dagestan, in which a mob broke into an airport to find Jews on a flight landing from Israel, has ended without any casualties.

The Foreign Ministry says the event was dealt with by Israeli Ambassador to Russia Alexander Ben Zvi, along with other diplomats, National Security Council  officials and “other security officials.”

It says help was provided by local government and security officials, without specifying if that includes officials from Moscow. The Kremlin recently hosted top Hamas officials, signaling support for the terror group.
