Washington - Saba:
An incident involving the storming of an event organized by the Israeli embassy in Washington by an activist named Elias Rodriquez, of Latin American origin—resulting in the killing of two Israeli employees and injuring others—ignited social media platforms this Thursday.

According to Quds Press Agency, activists circulated video clips showing Rodriquez shouting at the moment of his arrest: "I did it for Gaza" and "Free Palestine," describing the incident as a "cry for justice against the crimes of the occupation."

Two employees of the Israeli embassy were killed in a shooting near an event at the Jewish Museum in Washington on Wednesday evening (local time).

Washington D.C. police stated that the shooter, identified as Elias Rodriquez, is a 30-year-old from Chicago, Illinois, and noted that his record shows no prior criminal history that would have placed him under law enforcement surveillance.
