25-year-old US Airman Aaron Bushnell, hailing from San Antonio, Texas, set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. Police and the Secret Service intervened swiftly, extinguishing the flames. In a live-streamed video on Twitch, Bushnell, a serving Air Force member, voiced opposition to what he termed as "genocide" before the drastic act. Emergency services rushed him to the hospital in critical condition. Authorities are investigating the incident, with concerns initially raised about a suspicious vehicle. This marks a distressing event reminiscent of a similar incident at an Israeli consulate last December.
