Israel confirms Michigan synagogue attacker’s brother was Hezbollah terrorist commander
NY Post ^ | 03/15/2026 | Anthony Blair

The brother of a terrorist who rammed a vehicle into a Michigan Jewish preschool was a Hezbollah commander, Israel Defense Forces have said.

Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, 41, was shot dead after driving the vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Thursday.

His brother, Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, was responsible for managing weapons operations within a specialized branch of Hezbollah’s Badr Unit, the IDF said in a statement Sunday morning.

This unit of the Lebanese terror group is responsible for launching hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians throughout the recent war with Iran, the IDF said.

Ghazali’s two brothers, a niece, and a nephew were killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 5 in the town of Mashgharah, Lebanon, just days before the attack, a local official told AP Friday.

The family had sat down for their fast-breaking meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when they were struck.

Ghazali, who was allowed into to the US in 2011 as the spouse of a US citizen, was granted US citizenship under President Obama in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

On Thursday, he drove some 38 miles from his house in the heavily Muslim Detroit suburb of Dearborn Heights to Temple Israel, one of the largest Reform synagogues in the country, which also includes a school and an early childcare center and school.

After crashing his car, which was packed with fireworks and gasoline jugs, he exchanged fire with an armed security guard before eventually fatally shooting himself after becoming stuck in the blazing vehicle.

But what could have been Ayman Muhammad Ghazali’s motivation? We may never know.

WELL DUH!!! Do you understand we're in spiritual warfare???

HISTORY - 1400 years / over 700 MILLION innocent people murdered by Muslims!

“Muslims” A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.
And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government.

Can American voters be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves, our kids and grand-kids AND our future?

And paid terrorist supporters like Ryan Grimm of “Drop Site News” got 10 million views on an X post claiming that this scumbags children were killed by Israel. That was a lie and his brothers are terrorists. But the damage is done: thousands of people responded that he was justified in his synagogue attack because of the LIE that they were fed, and never saw the correction from others.

So why was this Pali-squatter in America... And not back in GAZA sacrificing himself for the cause?

And who the hell let him into America? Whomever it was... They should be charged with something.

Spousal visas. Perhaps the American half(usually female) should be made to live in those muslim countries for 2 years before allowed entry. The women are being used and seem to enjoy it especially if there’s money involved.

Leave it to the Israelis to do the research that Americans won’t do.

If you’re a terrorist and you want to get rid of Jews, you don’t start with the Reform: they’re the closest thing to friendly Jews. You attack the Orthodox and Conservative synagogues, and then AFTER you take over the country you can wipe out the rest of the Reform, Reconstruction, and plain ol’ socialist Jews. (just proves how stupid the local terrorists are)

Islam means submission, or surrender. Surrender could, I suppose be translated as "peace"?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! - Patrick Henry

If DHS cannot do a better job of getting these goat bumpers before they get into the USA maybe they should be defunded.
