Israel claims brother of Michigan synagogue attacker was Hezbollah commander

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The Israeli military (IDF) claims that Ibrahim Mohamad Ghazali, brother of the Michigan synagogue attacker Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, was a Hezbollah commander killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon last week. Ayman Ghazali attacked Temple Israel in Michigan on Thursday, shooting himself after being confronted by security. A Hezbollah official reportedly stated the attack was revenge for the deaths of four Ghazali family members, including Ibrahim, in a prior Israeli strike on March 5, but did not confirm Ibrahim's Hezbollah affiliation. The IDF described the target of the March 5 strike as a Hezbollah military structure. Ayman Ghazali, a Lebanese-born US citizen, drove his truck into the synagogue, opening fire before security returned fire, injuring a guard. No one inside the synagogue was injured.
