Two Israeli embassy staff members, Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, were fatally shot after leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, was detained at the scene after reportedly shouting “Free Palestine.” The FBI has searched a property linked to him, confirming no ongoing threat. President Trump condemned the act as “obviously antisemitic,” while Israeli officials called it a result of rising incitement. Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered increased security at embassies globally. Authorities are investigating possible terror ties behind the deadly attack. (PC: EPA)
