Flights to Dagestan from Israel to be redirected after antisemitic riots

Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsiya said on Monday that flights from Tel Aviv to Makhachkala and Mineralniye Vody, both in Russia's heavily Muslim North Caucasus, would be temporarily redirected to other cities.

The interior ministry said earlier that 60 people had been arrested after an antisemitic mob stormed Makhachkala airport in the Dagestan region on Sunday as a plane arrived from Israel.
