Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Shot Dead In Washington, DC
Two employees of the Israeli embassy in the US were killed in a shooting attack in Washington DC early on 22 May, causing an uproar and accusations about “antisemitism” being the motive behind the killings.
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, the two Israeli diplomats, were shot while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in the US capital. The two were reportedly set to be engaged, as Lischinsky had planned to propose to Milgrim in occupied Jerusalem next week.
The shooter has been identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who chanted “Free, free Palestine” as he was being detained by Metropolitan Police shortly after the attack.
