Pilot Aaron Bushnell (25 years old) died of the serious burns he sustained yesterday, Sunday. In a video broadcast live over the Internet, Bushnell, wearing military uniform, said he would no longer be complicit in genocide.

The incident comes amid mounting protests in the United States against the ongoing war on Gaza. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched a fierce aggression against the Gaza Strip, causing the death of about 30,000 Palestinians and massive destruction of the infrastructure.
