Why did Israelis search Google for the name of the Guard soldier who died in the US, two days before the attack?
On November 26, 2025, at approximately 2:15 p.m., two members of the West Virginia National Guard on duty near the White House were struck by multiple gunshots.
According to initial reconstructions, the attacker opened fire without any warning signal, firing approximately 10-15 times with a Magnum-357 pistol before stopping.
The two guards were rescued immediately, but one of them, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, died a short time later in hospital. The other soldier, 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, was hospitalized in critical condition.
The suspect has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan who arrived in the United States in 2021 on a special visa after working with the military and the CIA in Afghanistan.
The incident prompted the Trump administration to announce an indefinite suspension of immigration procedures for Afghan citizens. Trump also promised to "permanently suspend" immigration from so-called "Third World" countries.
Two days later, on November 28, 2025, a user named Brian Allen posted on X claiming to have made an unusual finding via Google Trends: the name of one of the victims, Sarah Beckstrom, had been searched online dozens of times a few days before the attack in the US.
Coincidentally, Sarah Beckstrom was not a famous person, which would explain a possible spike in searches before the name became news in international news.
Below is the post shared by Allen:
Before we continue, we would like to clarify that this article is not about assigning blame or investigating the so-called "who's behind it", but rather about presenting various anomalies in international news discovered using OSINT methodologies and confirming or denying a claim circulating on the internet.
We ran some research to see if what the user was claiming about X might actually be true. We entered Sarah Beckstrom's search term into Google Trends, filtering the results first by "worldwide" and then by just the country "Israel." Searches targeting "worldwide" returned no results, while those targeting just Israel did. We then micro-targeted the districts of "Haifa," "Tel Aviv," and "Jerusalem."
And, in line with the claim of Brian Allen's post X, we were able to confirm the hypothesis in two different areas of Israel. Both in the "Tel Aviv" district and in the "Jerusalem" district.
The shooting in Washington occurred on Wednesday, November 26. According to Google Trends data, searches for the term "Sarah Beckstrom" peaked twice in the Tel Aviv District, on the day the two police officers were shot and three days earlier, on November 23, 2025.
Moving geographically, still in Google Trends, on November 24, that is, 2 days before the shooting, there was another significant increase in searches for the name "Sarah Beckstrom" in the Jerusalem District.
So, to summarize, the claim that there was a spike in searches for the name "Sarah Beckstrom" in Israel two days before her murder is confirmed by at least two different searches on Google Trends.
At the same time, while researching several murders that occurred in the United States in 2025, we discovered another piece of evidence that we must report. This evidence relates to the events of May 2025.
On May 21, 2025, in front of the Jewish Museum of the Capital in Washington, an evening dedicated to young diplomats turned tragic. At the end of the event, a gunman opened fire on two participants who had just left the building. The victims, Yaron Lischinsky, a German-Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American, both worked for the Israeli Embassy and had participated in the initiative organized by the American Jewish Committee. The two young men died shortly after being shot.
The suspected attacker, Elias Rodriguez, 30, originally from Chicago, was stopped by museum security and turned over to police. During his arrest, he allegedly shouted slogans related to the Palestinian cause, including "free Palestine," and claimed to have acted "for Gaza," according to testimony gathered by investigators.
The evidence collected in Google Trends, consistent with the findings above, relates to the name of the male victim, Yaron Lischinsky. His murder occurred on May 21, 2025, and by segmenting searches for his name before the events of May 21, when there is naturally a peak in searches, we found a second peak between May 4 and 10, 10 days before his murder. The searches were conducted in the Israel district. This evidence is relevant, but it is important to note that it does not attribute responsibility. /Adapted from "Pamphlet" by " Inside Over "
