TL;DR Summary
US Airman Aaron Bushnell allegedly claimed to have classified knowledge of US forces fighting in Gaza tunnels before setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, as an "extreme act of protest" against Israel. Bushnell's friend stated that he had revealed to him that US soldiers were involved in the killings in Gaza, but there is no way to verify the truth of this claim.

His friend described him as honest and full of integrity, but struggling with military expectations.
