Two Israeli embassy staff members were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC after attending an event focused on aid for Gazans. The victims, a couple, were killed at close range, according to BBC.

Police arrested 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly shouted “Free Palestine” during his arrest. Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential terrorist attack.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called it a “shocking terrorist attack”, BBC reported.

US President Donald Trump condemned the shooting as “clearly antisemitic” and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fighting antisemitism.
