Leftist terrorist murdered two Israel Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. The attack occurred on May 21, outside the Young Diplomats Reception for young Jewish professionals at the Capital Jewish Museum, hosted by the American Jewish Committee. The two staffers, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, a German-Israeli dual citizen, who had immigrated to Israel at the age of 16 and served in the Israel Defense Forces, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, were shot at close range by a gunman who opened fire and killed them.

Arrested was Elias Rodriguez, 31, who pretended to be a bystander after the shooting. When police arrived, the man turned himself in and told the officers, “I did this, I did this for Palestine.”
