The Israeli military claims that the brother of Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who attacked a Michigan synagogue, was a Hezbollah commander. Ibrahim Ghazali was killed in Lebanon on March 5th in an Israeli airstrike, along with three other relatives of the attacker. Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove his car into a synagogue outside Detroit a week later, on March 12th, and died after being shot by security. The FBI's Detroit office declined to comment on the Israeli military's claim about Ibrahim Ghazali. The Israeli military alleges that Ibrahim Ghazali managed weapons for a Hezbollah unit that fired rockets at Israel. A Lebanese official confirmed Ibrahim Ghazali's death.
