On October 29, 2023, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the runway of the Ufa International Airport in Russia. The protesters were reportedly attempting to prevent an Israeli flight from taking off. The incident led to a temporary shutdown of the airport, with several flights being delayed or cancelled. The protesters were reportedly angered by the Israeli government's policies towards Palestinians. The group consisted of approximately 200 individuals, who broke through the airport's security barriers and flooded the runway. The protesters were seen throwing stones and setting fires, causing significant damage to the airport's infrastructure. Russian law enforcement agencies were eventually able to regain control of the situation, arresting several protesters in the process. The Israeli flight that the protesters were attempting to block was able to take off safely later in the day. The incident has sparked a debate about airport security in Russia, with some calling for stricter measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
