In a tragic incident, a member of the United States Air Force died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC. The victim, identified as Aaron Bushnell, an Air Force engineer, was found engulfed in flames on the sidewalk shortly after igniting himself.

The motive behind Bushnell's actions remains unknown. However, authorities are investigating the possibility of mental health issues or political motivations. Bushnell's death has sent shockwaves through the Air Force and the diplomatic community in Washington DC.
"This is a deeply disturbing and heartbreaking incident," said Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the deceased."
The Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, expressed condolences on behalf of his country and condemned the act of self-immolation.
