US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the killing of two employees at the Israeli embassy near the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.
American and Israeli media claimed that the shooter at the Israeli employees in Washington was “wearing a keffiyeh and shouting ‘Freedom for Palestine.'”
According to American media, the two employees, a man and a woman, were shot and killed in an area near the museum, which was hosting a reception for young diplomats organized by the American Jewish Committee at the time.
Washington Police Chief Pamela Smith said the suspect in the shooting is Elias Rodriguez, 30, from Chicago.
Smith added that the suspect was arrested at the scene and is being questioned by police, according to ABC News.
The US administration and Israeli authorities attempted to portray the incident as anti-Semitic, appealing to public opinion that Jews were victims of violence.
This was an attempt to cover up the Zionist crimes and massacres in Gaza, which have claimed the lives of more than 185,000 people in just 20 months.
