US Soldier Dies After Self-Immolation Outside Israeli Embassy

US Air Force soldier Aaron Bushnell died from his injuries after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington. US authorities reported that a member of the military ignited himself in what appears to be a protest against the war in Gaza. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon. Following the fire, Secret Service agents were able to extinguish the flames, and the man was transported to a local hospital, where he was reported to be in critical condition. A spokesperson for the Air Force confirmed that the incident involved an active-duty pilot.
