The attack, which resulted in twelve injuries, including one in critical condition, occurred on June 1, 2024, with law enforcement recovering multiple incendiary devices from his vehicle and home. Soliman, who told authorities he would ‘do it again,’ was arrested shortly after the incident and faces federal hate crime charges for his actions.
Boulder Terror Attack Suspect Spent a Year Planning Molotov Cocktail Attack on Pro-Israel March
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national whose visa was granted during the Biden administration, has been accused of planning and executing a terror attack on a pro-Israel march in Boulder, Colorado. The incident, which resulted in twelve injuries, including one in critical condition, has prompted law enforcement to describe it as a ‘targeted terror attack.’
According to court documents, Soliman spent a year preparing to hurl Molotov cocktails at the pro-Israel event, which he cited as a ‘Zionist threat.’ He reportedly researched how to build incendiary weapons on YouTube, collected ingredients over time, and transported the devices to Boulder in his silver Toyota Prius. The attack occurred on June 1, 2024, at 2 p.m. MST, when Soliman launched two Molotov cocktails at the gathering in the Pearl Street area of Boulder.

Law enforcement recovered at least 14 unlit Molotov cocktails, along with gasoline, red rags, and a weed sprayer, from his vehicle. His home and a storage unit behind it were also searched, with authorities finding papers bearing the words ‘Israel,’ ‘Palestine,’ and ‘USAID.’ His wife later turned over his iPhone, which contained messages to his family, to authorities.
Witnesses captured footage of Soliman, who was shirtless and holding one of the homemade weapons, shouting,
