Israeli Diplomats Shot Dead in Washington, DC Suspect Screamed ‘Free Palestine’ in Museum Attack
Two Israeli diplomats were executed in cold blood outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C., in what’s being called a hate-driven terror attack.
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgram were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when a gunman, Elias Rodriguez, opened fire killing both instantly.
Rodriguez reportedly screamed “Free, free Palestine!” after the shooting and was later arrested inside the museum. Police say he acted alone.
The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential terrorist attack and anti-Semitic hate crime.
Tragically, the two victims were a couple and the man had planned to propose next week in Jerusalem.
Federal agents, D.C. police, and Israeli authorities are calling this a direct attack on Jewish identity and diplomacy on U.S. soil
