A knife attack at Solingen's 650th-anniversary festival in Germany left three dead and eight injured on Friday night. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as "revenge against Muslims in Palestine." Authorities are investigating, with a large-scale manhunt underway to find the perpetrator. A fifteen-year-old has been detained for allegedly failing to report the crime. North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister called it "an act of terror." The city, near Düsseldorf, is in shock as residents mourn the victims with tributes at the scene. Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed that the attacker must be swiftly caught and punished.
