Israel: Michigan Terrorist’s Brother Was Hezbollah Commander

Many times, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

On Thursday, a terrorist tried to massacre 140 Jewish kids at the Temple Israel Synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. The man drove a Ford F-150 stuffed with fireworks and accelerants into the synagogue before his truck got stuck in the building and he died of a self-inflicted wound to the head after exchanging gunfire with two security guards.

The terrorist was the only casualty, thanks to the security guards who were ready for the attack.

The federal government identified the suspected attacker as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a 41-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lived in Dearborn Heights, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The media and even the city’s mayor justified the attempted massacre because the man’s family was killed by an Israeli strike in Lebanon.

But Israel Defense Forces confirmed today that Ghazali’s dead brother, Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, was a Hezbollah commander who managed weapons operations that launched hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians.

The New York Times described the Michigan terrorist as a “quiet restaurant worker.”

I found Michigan terrorist Ayman Mohamad Ghazali’s Facebook page, and it turns out he was a big fan of Hezbollah and former IRGC head Qasem Soleimani. Ghazali posted videos of Hezbollah’s Soleimani memorial in Lebanon after Trump took him out.

INFURIATING that he is even in America.

Terrorist? The New York Times informs us that Ayman Muhammad Ghazali was quietly enriching the U.S. by working in a restaurant. Then his life was tragically cut short due to pure bad luck. pic.twitter.com/agsKWq5kr1
