On March 12, 2026, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali rammed a pickup truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan — the state's largest Jewish synagogue — while more than 140 children were inside, before opening fire and dying by suicide. The FBI classified the attack as a "Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism," citing the suspect's family ties to a Hezbollah commander, his consumption of Hezbollah propaganda, and preparatory online activity. The designation raises questions about the legal distinction between "inspired by" and "directed by" a foreign terrorist organization, the adequacy of federal security funding for religious institutions, and the risk of collective blame falling on Michigan's large Arab American community.
