Ghazali reportedly drove his truck through the doors of the Temple Israel synagogue and into a hallway, where he allegedly shot himself fatally after he was confronted by security. Rabbis for Ceasefire founder Alissa Wise said such an attack on Jews stemming from Middle East violence was her “worst fear”. It knows the pain of being targeted; Arab American mayors, imams and other leaders from across the region expressed support for Jewish residents. “The unjustified Israeli attack on civilians in Iran and Lebanon gives no blank check to anyone attacking synagogues, civilians and peaceful communities,” Dearborn imam Hassan Qazwini told the Detroit Free Press on Friday. El-Sayed wrote on X that he was “horrified and heartbroken” in the hours after the Temple Israel attack.
