"Ghazali watched and searched for content from Hezbollah and Iranian news channels leading up to his attempted murder spree, including one Iranian fatwah that called for total jihad against the U.S. military."
"He sent his sister videos and messages that stated his intent to commit a mass terrorist attack and affirmed he was inspired by Hezbollah."
"Ghazali attempted to buy a gun from two stores in the days leading up to the attack and was unable to do so; he later bought a rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition."
Ayman Ghazali, who drove his truck into a Michigan synagogue, was motivated by Hezbollah's ideology. He spent hours consuming Hezbollah content and sought to inflict harm on local Jews. Ghazali searched for large gatherings of Israelis and communicated his intent to commit a mass attack to his sister. He attempted to purchase a gun before acquiring a rifle and ammunition. Ghazali was killed in a shootout with the temple's security personnel during the attack.
