Hundreds of people gathered in Makhachkal, the capital of Dagestan, before the flight from Tel Aviv has arrived. The events were calls in telegrams to participate in an action near the airport and check the cars near the building. The crowd members stopped cars that left the airport, checked their passports and searched for Jews. A few hours later, the protesters broke into the airport building, and the airport staff hid in office. Later, some of the people tried to penetrate the plane that flew from Tel Aviv, which led to the closure of the airport to normalize the situation.

In Khasavurt, Dagestan, the crowd gathered because of rumors about the presence of refugees from Israel in one of the hotels. In the capital of Karachayevo-Cherkesia, participants of the rally demanded to "evict" Jews. In Nalchyk, the capital of Kabardno-Balkaria, unknown set fire to the Jewish Cultural Center under construction and left an anti-Semitic inscription on its wall.
