On March 12, 2026, a shooting and vehicle-ramming terrorist attack occurred at Temple Israel, a Reform synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, United States. 41-year-old Ayman Mohamed Ghazali rammed his vehicle into the building and opened fire before he died by suicide. The vehicle caught fire, possibly from something flammable inside, and severely burned Ghazali's body. One security guard was struck and injured by the vehicle and 63 law enforcement officers were transported to hospitals to be treated for smoke inhalation. Four members of Ghazali's family – his two brothers, his niece, and his nephew – were killed in an Israeli airstrike during the 2026 Lebanon war on March 5. On March 15, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) alleged that his brother Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, who was killed in the attack, was a commander in Hezbollah within a specialized branch of the Badr unit. The attack was determined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to have been a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism against the Jewish community.
