At least six people were injured after a threw incendiary devices into a crowd in Boulder, Colorado where a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza was taking place, authorities said.

The police officials and FBI are investigating as an act of terrorism. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, yelled “Free Palestine" and used a makeshift flamethrower at a popular pedestrian mall in Boulder where the protest was taking place.

Several videos on social media platforms showed the suspect attacking people at the Boulder rally and confronting some men after the attack.

In one of the videos, the shitless Soliman can be seen holding bottles filled with liquid in his hands after attacking people at the Boulder rally seeking the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. He was heard screaming “End Zionists!" “Free Palestine!" and “They are killers!".

The video also showed him confronting some men after the attack.

Eyewitnesses Account

According to the witnesses, a man threw an object similar to a homemade Molotov cocktail at the protesters who were peacefully demanding the release of Israeli hostages who have been held captive by Hamas.

The videos surfacing from the spot of the attack showed people in panic as they ran to safety.

Brooke Coffman, a 19-year-old at the University of Colorado who witnessed the Boulder incident, told news agency Reuters she saw four women lying or sitting on the ground with burns on their legs. One of them appeared to have been badly burned on most of her body and had been wrapped in a flag by someone, she said.

She described seeing a man whom she presumed to be the attacker standing in the courtyard shirtless, holding a glass bottle of clear liquid and shouting.

“Everybody is yelling, ‘get water, get water,'" Coffman said.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a prominent Jewish Democrat, said he was closely monitoring the situation.

“This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism."

“Initial callers indicated that there was a man with a weapon and that people were being set on fire. When we arrived, we encountered multiple victims who were injured, with injuries consistent with burns and other injuries," Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn told reporters.

The White House said President Donald Trump has been briefed on the incident.

FBI Director Kash Patel called it a “targeted terror attack," while Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be “a hate crime given the group that was targeted."

The attack comes days after a Chicago man shot dead two Israeli embassy employees — Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim — in Washington. The man, identified as Elias Rodriguz, yelled “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza" after the shooting. He was later arrested.
