The Israeli military said the brother of the man who drove a vehicle laden with explosives into a Michigan synagogue Thursday was a Hezbollah commander killed in a strike last week. IDF Arabic language spokesman Avichay Adraee said Ibrahim Ghazali was killed March 5 when the IDF struck a Hezbollah military building used to store weapons. Ibrahim Ghazali’s children were also killed in the strike, the mayor said. The IDF made no mention of Ayman Ghazali’s other brother, Kassim, who was also killed in the strike. Two weeks earlier in Austin, Texas, a shooter killed three people and injured more than a dozen others in the city’s bustling entertainment district.
