Two staff members at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, were killed Wednesday night near the Capital Jewish Museum, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said.
“Two Israeli Embassy staff were senselessly killed tonight near the Jewish Museum in Washington DC,” Noem said in a post on X. “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”
Two people believed to be connected to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, were shot Wednesday night near the Capital Jewish Museum, according to a source familiar with the situation and a law enforcement source. Another law enforcement source told CNN that two people were killed.
DC Police said its investigating a shooting across the street from the FBI’s Washington Field Office, which is located near the museum. The Israeli embassy is working with law enforcement.
The Israeli ambassador was not involved in the incident and was not at the location when the shooting happened, an embassy spokesperson told CNN.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on social media that she and acting US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro have arrived to the scene of the shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum.
Ted Deutch, the CEO of the American Jewish Committee, said his organization was hosting an event at the museum on Wednesday evening.
“We are devastated that an unspeakable act of violence took place outside the venue,” he said in a statement. “At this moment, as we await more information from the police about exactly what transpired, our attention and our hearts are solely with those who were harmed and their families.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon reacted to media reports of the shooting on Wednesday, saying in a statement on X, “The fatal shooting that took place outside the event that took place at the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC – in which Israeli embassy employees were also injured – is a depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.”
Police are advising people to avoid the area in Northwest DC.

Not going to revive the adventurism struggle session, but also I feel like Luigi action needs to aim higher than “staffers” (unless that is the media is being euphemistic about their role here).
There are, after all, levels of complicity and if adventurism is the name of the game, it needs to aim high up to maximally focus on the most complicit in order to make the tradeoff in crackdowns, etc. worth it.
I feel like this guy might have simply dreamed too small. It’s like, I see where you’re going, but small potatoes like this don’t actually have the same impact as Luigi (in fact, the response will sadly likely be predominantly negative).
These are basically just random people.
Brian Thompson made decisions that killed people, that seems fairly unlikely to be the case here.
If someone [redacted] Netanyahu, I’ll donate to his defense fund. There’s nothing about this to celebrate.
There is everything about this to celebrate. Zionists are Nazis, and I applaud every effort to rid this planet from cancer
I agree. All zionists should be looking over their shoulders, regardless of their rank
How you know the shooter was a lefty: they didn’t miss
Look; the media already hated us. People were already getting fired over tame statements and censored. The crackdown started 2 years ago. We shouldn’t hide ourselves because of this, we should ask ourselves ‘what does solidarity really mean?’
caused a Japanese court to order the dissolution of the unification church
saved lives by causing a spike in approved health insurance claimsHopefully this does something good
“Acts of violence don’t win wars. Neither wars nor revolutions. Terrorism is useful as a start. But then, the people themselves must act.”
Rest in piss, bastards. May this happen to everyone who works for the zionist entity
First of all,
Second, I, in no uncertain terms, DISAVOW
Third, comrades who are affiliated to or otherwise associated with PSL, please do be careful. I would absolutely not doubt this will be used an an excuse to crack down on the party as a whole.
Is the US going to be defining PSL as a domestic terrorism organization? Possibly
well im glad i donate to the PSL
That’s awful. Only two?
I hate Israel so much that i have critical support for climate change. Even human extinction will have one positive. That disgusting genocidal demonic patch of hell called Israel will cease to exist.
I mean, we aren’t going to “fix” climate change anyway. That’s been made apparent
True. At the same time the US and Israel are both completely lost causes. Accelerationism may be the only way out of this system. Does something better come after… who knows but imagine a world where these two cancer countries weren’t there to support all the biggest pieces of shit all over the planet.
It would be a huge improvement just because of how the US military and their proxies are by far the biggest polluters on the planet
hasbara bots are seething on reddit. i saw some post about “october 8th when the bodies were still warm!!! 🥺🥺” lmao no clue what that even had to do with these two piggies being put down
fact: if you work for the nazi german goverment you are bad and deserve to be shot in the street like the lowest level of scum that you are
