The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported today: The US Secretary of Homeland Security said that two employees of the Israeli Embassy were shot dead near a Jewish museum in Washington DC. The museum is only a few steps away from the office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations condemned this as "despicable acts of anti-Semitic terrorism" and believed that the US authorities would take strong action against those responsible.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security said that an active investigation is underway.

A few comments: The conflict between Israel and Gaza continues to escalate, attracting global attention to the humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip. The blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza has caused numerous civilian casualties, and this despairing sentiment spreads through social media, intensifying dissatisfaction and hatred towards Israel among some people. Extremist forces take advantage of this situation to incite violence, leading to frequent retaliatory actions against Israel. In this incident, the gunman shouted "Free Palestine" before opening fire, indicating that the contradictions of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have spilled over into the United States, dragging it into this complex geopolitical conflict.
From the perspective of the event itself, the shooting occurred in close proximity to the office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which undoubtedly poses a severe challenge to the American security system. The occurrence of such a violent attack in an area with such concentrated security forces raises questions about America's public safety situation, highlighting the suddenness and difficulty of preventing such incidents.
