Israel’s ambassador to Moscow says passengers on Tel Aviv flight were flown by helicopter to safety after hiding from rioters in an airport terminal.
Israel’s ambassador to Moscow gave new details Wednesday of the weekend riot at an airport in southern Russia when a flight from Tel Aviv landed there, saying some of the passengers had to hide in the terminal before being flown by helicopter to safety. Ambassador Alexander Ben Zvi blamed Sunday night's unrest on extremist elements resulting from ″indoctrination″ in the mostly Muslim republic of Dagestan. But he said that overall, there is no antisemitism “on an organized level” in Russia.
When the passengers got off the plane and passed through passport control, 'they apparently ran into some kind of unrest,' he said. 'In the end, most of them ended up in a VIP room, and they hid there and spent some time there” until they could be flown by helicopter to a closed facility, he added.
