Two employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, were shot on Wednesday evening when they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. After his arrest, the suspect called “Free, Free Palestine” after his arrest.

The victims, a man and a woman who have not yet been named left the event when the suspect, who identified, identified Elias Rodriguez as a 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez. The event was organized by the American Jewish Committee.

“The American Jewish Committee (AJC) can confirm that we organized an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. “At that moment when we expect further information from the police, our attention and hearts are exclusively with those that have been damaged and their families.”

The DC police chief Pamela A. Smith informed reporter last night and found that the suspect went up and down outside the museum before approaching the group and shot several times with a pistol. He was arrested by the security location in front of the police and is currently in police custody.

Smith confirmed that the police “had no previous interactions with the suspect”. She added: “We don't see anything in his background that would have taken him on our radar. Our Task Force for common terrorism works very closely with the FBI to ensure that we can dive deep into its background.”

Yechiel Head, Israel's ambassador in the United States, said reporters that the two people killed were a young couple to be engaged. “The young man bought a ring this week to suggest his girlfriend in Jerusalem next week,” said Head. “You were a nice couple.”

President Donald Trump replied to the incident in his truth and wrote: “This terrible DC murders, which are obviously based on anti -Semitism, now have to end, now! Hate and radicalism have no place in the USA. Suffering the victims. So sad that things like this can happen! God bless them all!”

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that she visited the place of the shootout. “I pray for the victims of this violence while we work to learn more,” Bondi wrote about X. She added that she was there with the former judge Jeanine Pirro, the US lawyer in Washington, whose office would pursue the case.

Isaac Herzog, Israeli President, said in an explanation that he was “on the ground” of the scenes in DC “This is a detention -worthy hate act of anti -Semitism that claimed the life of two young employees of the Israeli message,” said Herzog. “Our hearts are with the relatives of the murdered and our immediate prayers are among the injured. I send my full support to the ambassador and all employees of the message. We are with the Jewish community in DC and the USA. America and Israel are united to defend our people and our common values ​​and hatred.” Terror and hatred will not break us. “

The shootout has occurred when the conflict between Israel and Hamas has escalated in the past few weeks. Israel has been blocking help in Gaza since March, which led to a lack of food and medical help in the region. Last night, the United Nations, which they “were around 90 truck loads” in Gaza Strip, had dispatched, but that is only a fraction of what is necessary to prevent an upcoming famine. The Israeli military has also attacked Gaza with remarkable violence, including hospitals, schools and accommodations that cause dozens of deaths per day.

The event in the Jewish Capital Museum concentrated, according to the American Jewish committee, the board member Jojo Kalin, the board member of the American Jewish Committee. “I will not lose or deter my humanity,” she said, according to BBC. “And these Israelis and Palestinians both still earn self -determination and [it is] Only deeply ironic that we talked about it. It was a bridge building and then we were all hit over the fur with such hatred. “
