Part 6/10:
Federal filings reveal that Solomon had been planning this attack for a year, choosing a strategic moment—waiting until his daughter's graduation—to carry out the violence. During interrogation, Solomon admitted to attempting to buy a firearm but was thwarted due to his non-citizen status. His intentions seemed deeply rooted in ideological motives; he expressed a willingness to do it again and stated he wanted to "kill all Zionist people." His words underscore the extremist nature of the attack, which resulted in 12 injured victims, some with serious burns. At least two remain hospitalized, and one weapon used was described as a makeshift flamethrower.
