Washington suspect told witness he 'did this for Gaza' in frenzied moments after shooting
Thursday, 22 May 2025 () Witnesses have told Sky News of the moments after a man shot two Israeli embassy staff members outside a Jewish museum in Washington DC.
Following the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has launched a scathing attack on European leaders. He accused them of inciting antisemitic hatred and claimed their rhetoric directly fuels violence against Israelis. Saar called out European and international officials for spreading false narratives about genocide in Gaza, linking their remarks to what he calls “modern blood libels.” As Western countries increase diplomatic pressure on Israel over Gaza, tensions between Israel and Europe are rapidly escalating.

Terrifying scenes unfolded as Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a second ballistic missile attack on Israel within hours, claiming to have targeted Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv with a Zulfiqar missile. Dramatic video footage captures the panic on the ground as Israeli civilians scramble for safety amid blaring sirens and incoming fire. The missile was reportedly intercepted by Israeli air defenses, but the psychological shock and rising regional tension are undeniable. This marks the 37th missile fired by Houthis since March 18, as part of their escalating retaliation tied to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
