2 Israeli Embassy aides are killed in a shooting in Washington, D.C., officials say

Two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington were tragically killed during a shooting near an event at the Capital Jewish Museum as a man claiming "free Palestine" nearby walked by; police identified the attacker, Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old with no prior connection to law enforcement. The victims, Milgrim and Lishinsky, were prominent public diplomacy experts preparing to marry in Jerusalem. Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned the attack, urging enhanced security at diplomatic missions, while the FBI investigates links to terrorism or hate crimes, and politicians expressed outrage over the violence targeting Jewish Americans.
