WASHINGTON , Monday, February 26, 2024 (WAFA) – A US Air Force soldier died on Monday after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington last weekend, in an apparent act of protest against the brutal Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.
A video went viral on internet shows the previous US soldier filming himself and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!” while setting himself on fire.
He was initially taken to the hospital after suffering “serious, life-threatening injuries,” according to the fire department.
A US Air Force spokeswoman said that the man died of his wounds last night.
Before sitting himself on fire, the mas, who was wearing a military uniform, said that he will not be complicit in this genocide.
“I will no longer be complicit in genocide in the Gaza Strip. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest.”
This comes amid increasing protests in the United States against the bloody Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, which have so far resulted in the death of about 30,000 persons.
