A member of the US Air Force set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington in protest against the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
According to reports, Officers from the US Secret Service extinguished the flames before the man was taken to hospital on Sunday afternoon with serious injuries.
The US Air Force confirmed an active-duty serviceman was involved but he has not been identified.
In a video that was live streamed on Twitch, the man identified himself and said he was a serving member of the Air Force.
Before setting himself on fire, he said he would "no longer be complicit in genocide" and he was heard shouting "Free Palestine" as he burned.
