To be fair to the scum at the fraudian, they did update their reporting somewhat although they are still burying the lede.
"US air force member dies after setting himself on fire outside Israeli embassy
Aaron Bushnell, 25, declared he will ‘no longer be complicit in genocide’ before setting himself alight in Washington DC"
Instead of the headline stating why he did it and what he shouted (i.e. Gaza and "Free Palestine") they go with his much more vague headline.

An active-duty member of the US air force has died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, while declaring he will “no longer be complicit in genocide”.
The man was identified as the 25-year-old airman Aaron Bushnell of San Antonio, Texas.
The Metropolitan police department said it responded to an incident on International Drive around 1pm on Sunday to assist the Secret Service.
A video posted online showed Bushnell in a uniform shouting “Free Palestine” as he burned while identifying himself as an active air force member. He was reportedly on fire for about a minute before law enforcement officers put it out.
Four paragraphs later they get to the reason he did it.
Later on this just demonstrates how pathetic they are:
The embassy has been the focus of protests by pro-Palestinian demonstrators calling for a ceasefire to the Israeli military offensive in Gaza, in which the claimed death toll appears likely to pass 30,000 this week. The offensive follows cross-border attacks in Israel by Hamas in 7 October that killed about 1,200 people and in which more than 200 people were taken hostage.
It's like they are legally obliged to include the attempted excuse for genocidal massacres every time they talk about Israel murdering people.
Even when they do the right thing, they do it dreadfully.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
