2-MIN READ2-MIN ListenAssociated PressPublished: 1:12am, 16 Mar 2026The brother of the man who attacked a Michigan synagogue last week, who was killed earlier this month in an Israeli air strike, was a Hezbollah commander, Israel’s military claimed on Sunday.
The FBI’s Detroit office, which is investigating the attack, declined to comment on the claims by Israel’s military about Ibrahim Ghazali.
Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the claim that Ibrahim Ghazali was a militant.
A Lebanese official, who requested anonymity because he could not publicly discuss details of the air strike has confirmed Ibrahim Ghazali’s death, telling Associated Press that Ghazali’s children, Ali and Fatima, and brother, Kassim, were also killed in the strike that hit their home just after sunset.
