Boulder Flamethrower Attack Targets Jewish Gathering

A violent anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado left at least eight people hospitalized after Mohamed Sabry Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails against a peaceful Jewish gathering supporting Israeli hostages, reportedly shouting 'Free Palestine' during the assault. The incident, which occurred just before the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, has deeply affected Jewish communities nationwide and led to increased security measures around Jewish institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Jewish leaders are emphasizing vigilance and resilience against rising anti-Semitic violence and calling for greater government action to protect Jewish Americans. Law enforcement continues to investigate the attack as terrorism and is examining whether warning signs were missed. The Boulder attack follows a recent fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C., underscoring concerns about escalating targeted violence. Community leaders are urging solidarity and support for Jewish communities, especially ahead of public events.
