Israeli Nationals Killed in US Identified
according to webangah News Agency, citing Reuters via Mehr News Agency, israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar confirmed the identities of two embassy staff members fatally shot outside Washington’s Jewish Museum earlier today.
The victims were identified as Yariv Lischinsky and Sara Milgrim. israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter stated the couple had been planning to marry soon.
Former Israeli Ambassador to Washington Michael Herzog told Army Radio that the deceased included an American female employee and an israeli male staff member.
The shooting occurred amid heightened security measures at all Israeli diplomatic facilities in Washington, coinciding with Israel’s devastating war in Gaza and what Palestinian authorities describe as genocide against Gaza’s population.
Gaza health authorities report over 53,000 Palestinian fatalities since the conflict began. The offensive has displaced 90% of Gaza’s 2 million residents, triggered famine conditions, and reduced large sections of Gaza City to rubble.
