The body of Yaron Lischinsky, the Israeli embassy employee who was gunned down in an antisemitic attack in Washington, DC, Wednesday night, is expected to return to Israel on Friday, officials confirmed.

Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were shot dead in Washington on Wednesday night, in an antisemitic attack that's left the Jewish community in shock.

The image of a happy couple projected on a screen at the Jewish Community Campus Thursday night was one people around the world have seen, but it felt painfully close for those who sat in the social hall.

Yaron Lischinsky, who was murdered together with his girlfriend, Sarah Milgrim, in a terror attack in Washington, DC, will be laid to rest in Israel following a short memorial service.

The post Yaron Lischinsky named as one of the victims of Washington, DC, shooting appeared first on The Times of Israel.

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim hailed from different parts of the world, but their paths led them both to pursue careers in diplomacy and to the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC – where they found each other and fell in love.

Slain staffer Yaron Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring and was planning to propose to his colleague Sarah Milgrim.

Several Jewish organizations and Chicago officials held a press conference Friday to condemn the fatal shooting of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, Israeli Embassy staffers, on Wednesday night as they were leaving an event at a Jewish museum.
