| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] In Nalchik, a fire occurred in a Jewish cultural center under construction; an anti-Semitic inscription was also painted on the building, as follows from published videos and photos. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; on October 28, the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on thousands of participants in prayers for the Palestinians. On October 28, protests against the arrival of refugees from Israel to the North Caucasus took place in Cherkessk and Khasavyurt. Information about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine is collected in the “Caucasian Knot” document “Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.” A video recording of a fire in a building under construction in Nalchik was published today by the anonymous telegram channel "Emergency Caucasus", which has 141 thousand subscribers. “There was a fire in the Jewish center under construction in Nalchik. First, someone set fire to the tires inside, and the fire spread to the building,” the publication says. The footage of the video shows that on the first floor of an unfinished two-story building, enclosed by a fence, a fire is burning, accompanied by clouds of black smoke. The same video was posted today on the anonymous telegram channel Baza. “In Nalchik (KBR), a Jewish cultural center was set on fire. According to local residents, someone threw burning tires into the center’s building under construction. Also, an [anti-Semitic] inscription appeared on the wall,” the publication says. In addition to the video, the publication is also illustrated with a photograph showing an anti-Semitic inscription in white paint on the façade of an unfinished building, covered in smoke. The "Caucasian Knot" cannot yet verify where and when the published videos and photos were taken, and does not have information about the causes of the fire. The Ministry of Emergency Situations for Kabardino-Balkaria, as of 15.00 Moscow time, did not report the incident on its website or telegram channel. At the same time, the morning report on the department’s website notes that 12 fires were registered over the past 24 hours. Details are not provided in the summary. Let us remind you that Muslims in the republics of the North Caucasus mostly sympathize with Palestine, but their support has not become unconditional , and the topic of the conflict is not the main one in society, scientists, activists and journalists from the North Caucasus Federal District previously interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated. The Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus, commenting on the action held on October 28 in Cherkessk and calls to not allow refugees from Israel, called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people. The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides. The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.
