The FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a joint warning to inform the public about an “elevated threat” targeting Israeli and Jewish communities within the United States.

The announcement highlights potential public safety concerns regarding ongoing threats during the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

A recent event occurring on Sunday involved 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman from Egypt, who allegedly prepared 18 Molotov cocktails before making his way to Boulder, Colorado. There, pro-Israel supporters were gathering for the Run for Their Lives, advocating for Israeli hostages.

While participants gathered in Boulder’s Pearl Street area, Soliman allegedly shouted “Free Palestine” and threw two ignited Molotov cocktails into the crowd, resulting in his subsequent arrest.

Shortly after being taken into custody by security at the museum, Rodriguez was seen on video shouting, “Free, free Palestine.”

“The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters,” the FBI and DHS said in their joint announcement. 

“Foreign terrorist organizations also may try to exploit narratives related to the conflict to inspire attacks in the U.S. 

“The FBI and DHS therefore urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any threats of violence or suspicious activity to law enforcement.”

Anyone who witnesses what they believe to be concerning or suspicious activity is encouraged to notify the FBI by contacting the agency at tips.fbi.gov or by contacting their local field offices at www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices.
