The crowds waited for an Israeli flight that was supposed to arrive and checked vehicles leaving the airport to try and find Israeli or Jewish passengers.
Footage from the scene shows crowds chanting "Allahu Akbar," and according to reports, they also chanted antisemitic chants.
The flight, which took off from Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel and was scheduled to land in Makhachkala, was rerouted and landed at a different airport.
According to local reports, the rioters also began to search for Israelis and Jews near the airport as well.
The incident occurred amid Israel's war in Gaza and the spike in antisemitism around the globe. WATCH
