"Ghazali made a video just minutes before the attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, saying he wanted to 'kill as many of them as I possibly can' in the large Jewish congregation."
"Runyan said it was a 'Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan.'"
"He sent two final videos to a sister overseas about 10 minutes before launching the assault, stating, 'I have booby-trapped the car. I will forcefully enter and start shooting at them.'"
"The FBI cited videos and other images discovered on Ghazali's social media accounts in which he embraced vengeance and Hezbollah's militant ideology."
Ayman Ghazali crashed his pickup truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, motivated by Hezbollah's ideology. He expressed intentions to kill as many Jewish people as possible in a video recorded shortly before the attack. Ghazali targeted the synagogue, the largest Jewish temple in Michigan, after researching local Jewish sites. He exchanged gunfire with a security guard before taking his own life. Fortunately, no other individuals were harmed during the incident, which the FBI classified as a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism.
