Man sets himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. Washington police reported that the individual was taken to “a local hospital where he remains in critical condition,” but did not offer further details.
A video circulating on social media appears to show the man dressed in a military uniform, engulfed in flames while shouting "Free Palestine" in front of the Israeli headquarters. The event occurs almost five months after the war between Israel and the radical Palestinian group Hamas began, which has cost the lives of nearly 30,000 people in Gaza.
