Michigan synagogue assailant had connections to Hezbollah members in Lebanon: CNN
Ayman Ghazali died by a self-inflicted gunshot after ramming explosives into Temple Israel; attack followed deaths of his family in an Israeli airstrike, FBI says.

- A week earlier, Israeli airstrikes killed Ghazali's two brothers, Kassim and Ibrahim, along with Ibrahim's children Ali and Fatima in Mashghara, Lebanon on March 5 during the ongoing conflict.
