Federal officials say the wife and five children of a man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators in Boulder are being taken into custody. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem made the announcement Tuesday in a post on X. Authorities say Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who has been living in the U.S. illegally, had 18 Molotov cocktails but threw just two during Sunday's attack in which he yelled "Free Palestine." Police wrote in an affidavit that Soliman didn't carry out his full plan "because he got scared and had never hurt anyone before." Soliman faces federal hate crime and state attempted murder charges.

The FBI says the man charged in the attack in Boulder, Colorado, that left eight people injured told police he planned it for a year and specifically targeted what he described as the "Zionist group." An FBI affidavit says Mohammed Soliman confessed to the attack after being taken into custody Sunday and told the police he would do it again. The affidavit was released in support of a federal hate crime charged filed by the Justice Department on Monday. The group that was targeted had gathered in a popular pedestrian park in Boulder to draw attention to the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.

The Anti-Defamation League says the number of antisemitic incidents in the United States reached a record high last year. The group's report released Tuesday notes that 58% of the 9,354 incidents related to Israel, notably chants, speeches and signs at rallies protesting Israeli policies. The ADL has produced annual tallies for 46 years. This is the first time Israel-related incidents comprised more than half the total. It says a key reason is widespread opposition to Israel's military response in Gaza after the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The ADL's findings add new grist to an intense debate among American Jews over the extent to which vehement criticism of Israeli policies and of Zionism should be considered antisemitic.
