Synagogue attacker’s brother HezbollahMICHIGAN SHOOTING: The Israeli military alleges that Ayman Ghazali’s brother was a Hezbollah commander who managed weapons for a unit that fired rockets at IsraelAP, JERUSALEMThe man who attacked a Michigan synagogue was the brother of a Hezbollah commander killed earlier this month in an Israeli airstrike, Israel’s military said on Sunday. The FBI’s Detroit office, which is investigating the synagogue attack, declined to comment on the claims by Israel’s military about Ibrahim Ghazali. The Israeli military alleges Ibrahim Ghazali was a Hezbollah commander who managed weapons for a unit that fired rockets at Israel. No staffers or children inside the synagogue were hurt, likely due to beefed up security. He lived in a single-story brick home in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn Heights about 60km south of the synagogue.
