An American soldier dies after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington as an "extreme protest" against the war. In a video that was published on social networks, the soldier in a military uniform can be seen spraying himself with flammable liquid and becoming engulfed in flames.
The Air Force confirmed that a member of that branch of the Armed Forces had been involved in the incident, but without providing further details. The fire brigade and emergency services indicated that the man was rushed to hospital with "critical" injuries.
