US EditionMichigan synagogue attack was act of terrorism inspired by Hezbollah, federal officials say
The attacker, motivated by Hezbollah ideology and family losses in Israeli strikes, targeted Michigan’s largest Jewish temple, injuring a guard but harming no children, FBI said.
- On March 12, Ayman Ghazali drove an explosive-laden truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in an attack the FBI officially designated on Monday as terrorism inspired by Hezbollah.
- Federal investigators believe the attack responded to an Israeli airstrike on March 5 that killed Ghazali's family members, who were associated with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group.
- Evidence recovered from Ghazali's phone revealed extensive research into local synagogues and pro-Hezbollah propaganda, while he purchased weapons and $2,200 in fireworks days before the incident.
- U.S. Attorney for the District of Eastern Michigan Jerome Gorgon stated the act constituted "material support to Hezbollah," while the building sustained significant damage but no children or staff were injured.
- With the Passover holiday approaching on April 1, police across the county are increasing their presence at synagogues and community sites to deter potential threats and ensure public safety.
