Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim ID’d as couple fatally shot by terrorist who yelled ‘Free free Palestine’ near DC’s Capital Jewish Museum

The two Israeli Embassy staffers who were gunned down by a pro-Palestinian terrorist outside the Capital Jewish Museum Wednesday night have been identified as “friends and colleagues” who fell in love and were just days away from getting engaged.

Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim were fatally shot in the street as they left the American Jewish Committee’s ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception just after 9 p.m. in Washington, DC.

“Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives,” the Embassy of Israel to the USA wrote on X.

“This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC. The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss. Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.”
