Russian courts have sentenced 15 anti-Israeli rioters who stormed an airport in the southern region of Dagestan to short terms in prison, according to AFP.
Hundreds of protesters overran Russia’s Makhachkala airport last week, charging onto the runway in a bid to encircle a plane that had flown in from Israel.
Courts in Dagestan, a Muslim-majority region, have since sentenced 15 people to between two and 10 days in prison for their involvement in the riot, state media reported.
Two more were ordered to complete 60 hours of forced labour, the TASS news agency said.
