Israel's military is claiming that the brother of a man who attacked a Michigan synagogue last week was a Hezbollah commander.

The Michigan synagogue that came under attack this week when an armed man drove his car into the building had for months been strengthening its security apparatus.

An official in Lebanon says a man who attacked a Michigan synagogue learned a week ago that four relatives in Lebanon were killed by an Israeli airstrike.

A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security.

The armed man who rammed his vehicle into one of the nation’s largest Reform synagogues has been identified as 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized citizen born in Lebanon, according to federal officials.

The FBI has confirmed that the man who opened fire in a Michigan church and set it ablaze was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
