Slain Israeli Diplomats Were Jesus-Followers, Suspect Was Anti-Israel Activist - CBN NewsWatch: May 23, 2025

Israeli embassies worldwide are on heightened security after the murders of two embassy workers in Washington, D.C. Authorities are investigating the attack as a hate crime and an act of terrorism.

The killing of the young Jewish couple, who were staffers at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, has shocked the world.

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were gunned down while leaving an event for young diplomats to discuss strategies for helping civilians in Gaza and build peace at the Capital Jewish Museum Wednesday night.

The suspect is charged with the murder of foreign officials. Court documents reveal the shooting was captured on surveillance video outside the museum. It reportedly shows Elias Rodriguez firing at the victims several times after they fell to the ground.

He then walked into the museum where he turned himself in to police, telling them, "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza," then repeatedly shouting "Free Palestine!"
