Man who lost family in Israeli airstrikelost family in Israeli airstrike attacks Michigan synagogue

A 41-year-old Lebanese-born U.S. citizen, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, drove a vehicle into Temple Israel in suburban Detroit on Thursday, March 13, 2026, in what federal officials are investigating as a targeted attack. Ghazali had lost four family members—two brothers, a niece, and a nephew—in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon approximately one week prior; his brothers were reportedly members of a Hezbollah rocket unit. Security guards at the synagogue shot and killed Ghazali; aside from one security officer who was struck by the vehicle, no other injuries were reported despite roughly 140 people, including over 100 children, being present at the time. The FBI is leading the investigation into the attack.
