The Israeli military claims that Ibrahim Ghazali, the brother of the man who attacked a Michigan synagogue on March 12, was a Hezbollah commander killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on March 5. The IDF alleges Ibrahim managed weapons for a unit that fired rockets at Israel. The FBI, investigating the synagogue attack, declined to comment on the Israeli claims. A Lebanese official confirmed Ibrahim's death, along with his two children and brother, in the airstrike that hit their home. The Associated Press has not independently verified the claim that Ibrahim Ghazali was a militant.
