The article reports on an attack in Boulder, Colorado, during an event supporting Israeli hostages in Gaza, resulting in injuries to eight individuals. The assailant, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and an incendiary device while shouting "Free Palestine," prompting the FBI to classify the incident as an act of terrorism. Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the attack as brutal and highlighted the ongoing demonstrations by the group Run for Their Lives-Boulder in response to the situation in Gaza. The incident has raised concerns about antisemitic violence in the U.S. and may influence immigration policy discussions regarding deportations, as the suspect reportedly overstayed his visa.
