Washington, DC 22nd May – In a brazen and horrifying act of violence that has shaken diplomatic circles and sent shockwaves through global Jewish communities, two staff members of the Israeli Embassy were gunned down in cold blood outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday evening.

Described by Israeli officials as “a depraved act of anti-Semitic terror,” the double murder has sparked outrage across continents and reignited fears over the rising tide of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment worldwide.

The alleged gunman, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, was apprehended at the scene while reportedly shouting “Free, free Palestine!” Witnesses say the attack was deliberate and targeted, occurring just steps away from the FBI’s Washington Field Office—adding to the chilling audacity of the crime.
