Two young staff members from the Israeli embassy were shot and killed outside a Jewish museum in D.C. after an event for young diplomats. The shooter, identified as Elias Rodriguez, reportedly chanted 'free, free Palestine' while being detained. The attack reflects a disturbing rise in antisemitic violence, particularly during a volatile period of Israeli military action in Gaza. Victims Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were engaged, with plans for a proposal made just days prior, underscoring the personal tragedy of the event.
The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, 31, was observed pacing outside the event before he approached a group and opened fire, killing two young diplomats.
Ambassador Yechiel Leiter revealed the victims, Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, were a couple engaged to be married, adding a poignant layer to the tragedy.
