Israel speaks out
Israel is now calling on Russian authorities to protect Israeli citizens and Jews in the country.
“The State of Israel views seriously all attempts to harm Israeli citizens and Jews regardless of where,” it said in a statement, according to the Reuters news agency.
The government of Dagestan writes on Telegram that “it is not easy” to stand by and watch “the inhumane massacre of a civilian population – the Palestinian people”, but that the residents of the sub-republic should not give in to provocations and not create panic in society .
