Hamas has announced plans to honor Aaron Bushnell, a US soldier who tragically took his own life by self-immolation in protest against Israeli actions in Gaza. The Palestinian liberation organization conveyed its intentions to immortalize Bushnell in a statement issued on Tuesday, as reported by Anadolu Agency.

In their statement, Hamas paid tribute to Aaron Bushnell's act of self-immolation, citing it as a powerful response to the ongoing conflict and violence in Gaza. They hailed his protest as a symbol of growing global outrage over Israeli aggression and the role of the United States in supporting it.

Aaron Bushnell's poignant demonstration, according to Hamas, reflects the mounting anger among Americans towards the Israeli military's actions in Gaza. They believe that Bushnell will forever represent the spirit of international solidarity with the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights.

The tragic incident occurred last Sunday when Aaron Bushnell set himself ablaze in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, as a form of protest against the Israeli attacks on Gaza and the US's involvement in them. Despite efforts to save him, Bushnell, a 25-year-old member of the US Air Force, succumbed to his injuries after being hospitalized for several hours.

During the incident, Bushnell livestreamed the act on social media platforms, garnering widespread attention with millions of viewers witnessing the event unfold in real-time. In his final moments, Bushnell could be heard shouting slogans condemning genocide and expressing solidarity with Palestine.
