Multiple people set on fire in attack at Colorado march for Israeli hostages, suspect arrested, police say

  • On Sunday afternoon, Mohamed Sabry Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower to attack pro-Israel demonstrators at Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, injuring eight people.
  • The attack occurred during a Run for Their Lives walk raising awareness about Israeli hostages in Gaza and happened on the eve of the Jewish holiday Shavuot.
  • Soliman shouted "Free Palestine" while throwing an incendiary device into a crowd, was taken into custody peacefully, and is now facing multiple serious criminal charges related to the use of the incendiary device.
  • FBI and local officials classified the assault as an ideologically motivated act of terrorism, while leaders condemned it as a heinous antisemitic attack.
  • The attack intensified fears about the rising tide of antisemitic violence across the country and led the organization to suspend all planned Run for Their Lives activities until further notice.
