The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston is warning Houston residents about the "growing problem of antisemitism" in the metro after two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. were killed earlier this week.

The museum, located 1.3 miles from the White House in Washington, D.C., is in a busy part of the city packed with federal offices and museums.

Identifying who will go from anger to violence is like "trying to find which piece of hay is going to become a needle," one expert said.

The fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers near the Capital Jewish Museum has prompted D.C. police to increase security amid rising concerns about antisemitism.

The shooting of Israeli Embassy staff in DC underscores the need for heightened security at Jewish landmarks, with NYPD leading in anti-terror efforts.

Two Israeli embassy staffers were killed in a shooting outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening, with the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, charged with two counts of first degree murder and other criminal counts Thursday afternoon.

The museum is known as the first museum in D.C. dedicated to the story of Jewish life in the national capital region. Here's a closer look at the Lilian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum and its mission. The museum itself is relatively new, first opening to the pubic in June 2023.
