Colorado Attack: Man Sets Crowd On Fire At Pro Israel Rally While Shouting 'Free Palestine' N18G

On Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, a man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, attacked a crowd at a memorial for Israeli hostages by throwing incendiary devices while shouting “Free Palestine.” He used a makeshift flamethrower, injuring six people aged 67 to 88, some seriously. Eyewitnesses described chaos, with victims suffering burns and bystanders scrambling to help. The event, organized by the group 'Run For Their Lives' to call for hostage releases in Gaza, was disrupted as Soliman also yelled slogans like “End Zionists” and “They are killers.” Authorities evacuated nearby blocks and deployed K-9 units during the response. The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating, with no charges announced yet, though officials pledged full accountability. Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the act, calling it unacceptable hate-fueled violence. The incident comes amid a broader surge in antisemitic attacks in the U.S., including a recent fatal shooting of Israeli embassy staff.
