Lynch Mob storms Dagestan airport in search of Jewish passengers from Israel
A mob in Russian, mostly Muslim, region of Dagestan has stormed the airport in Makhachkala in search of Jewish passengers arriving from Israel.
The group rushed onto the landing field, chanting antisemitic slogans and seeking passengers arriving on the Tel Aviv flight.
Local health authorities said that 20 people had been injured, including two who were critical. The RIA news agency said nine police officers had received injuries in the incident, two of whom were being treated in hospital. The passengers on the plane were safe, security forces told Reuters. Local people have also besieged a hotel in search of Jewish guests.
Hamas is a designated terrorist group backed by Iran and that has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007.
Hamas began firing thousands of rockets on Saturday morning, striking targets as far away as Tel Aviv and the outskirts of Jerusalem, which rarely see any direct hits because of Israel's sophisticated Iron Dome missile defense system.

The unprecedented attack, which has killed at least 900 people in Israel, Israel's Army Radio reported Monday. At least 2,506 people have been injured, the Israeli Health Ministry said earlier.
More than 100 Israeli civilians, soldiers, and foreign nationals have also been taken hostage by Hamas, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Israel on Sunday formally declared war on Hamas.
