Boulder Terror Attack Injures Eight in Antisemitic Assault

A targeted terror attack occurred in Boulder, Colorado, where Mohamed Sabry Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices to set eight people on fire during a peaceful event raising awareness for Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The victims, aged 67 to 88, sustained injuries ranging from serious to minor and were hospitalized, with some airlifted to burn units. The FBI and local authorities are investigating the incident, which took place on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot and has been widely condemned as an antisemitic act. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid denounced the attack, linking it to rising antisemitism fueled by extreme rhetoric and blood libels against the Jewish people. The attack has heightened concerns about escalating antisemitism in the U.S., drawing condemnation from political leaders including Colorado's governor and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Law enforcement agencies continue to collaborate to ensure the suspect is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
