Who is Yaron Lischinsky? Israeli embassy staffer reported as DC shooting victim

Yaron Lischinsky has been identified as one of the victims killed in the pro-Palestinian shooting outside a Jewish museum in Washington DC.

The report comes as two Israeli embassy employees were killed in a tragic DC shooting incident on Wednesday night. They were a “beautiful young couple”, who was about to get engaged next week in Jerusalem, informed Israeli Ambassador to the US. Following the shooting, suspect Elias Rodriguez was taken into custody.

Meanwhile, Yarón Lischinsky’s photos surfaced on social media, with several claiming that he “was murdered tonight simply for being Jewish in Washington, D.C., in the name of “Free Palestine”.”
