Task and Purpose is reporting that this man was a member of the United States Air Force according to local sources.

On X, former known as Twitter, Jane reports that the man in Air Force uniform said he was 'an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.' He then set himself on fire and shouted 'Free Palestine.'
The fire was extinguished and local authorities have confirmed a man was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries from the blaze.
The man set himself on fire, reportedly, to protest the war in Gaza.
