"Tragic Self-Immolation: US Air Force Member Dies at Israeli Embassy Protest"

A 25-year-old U.S. Air Force member, Aaron Bushnell, died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., declaring that he "will no longer be complicit in genocide." The incident occurred amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, drawing attention to the ongoing military offensive in Gaza. Bushnell had been staying at a Travelodge in Maryland, and the Air Force confirmed he was a cyber defense operations specialist. The act follows a similar self-immolation outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta in December, both believed to be extreme political protests.
