Truck rams Michigan synagogue as FBI probes motive; kids inside safe

A pickup truck rammed Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, crashing through the front doors, triggering a vehicle fire and gunfire. The attacker, Ghazali, died of a self-inflicted gunshot after exchanges with security; a security guard was injured and 63 first responders treated for smoke inhalation. More than 100 children aged five and younger inside the building were evacuated unharmed. The FBI labeled it a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community and said motive is under investigation, with officials noting Ghazali’s past contacts with individuals linked to Hezbollah. Temple Israel had heightened security; staff and security forced shelter-in-place and guided children to safety during the incident, as authorities continue to investigate amid broader concerns about antisemitic threats.
