Laut FBI war der Mann, der mit seinem Pickup in die Synagoge in Michigan krachte, von der vom Iran unterstützten Hisbollah inspiriert

The Associated Press article reports that the man who attacked a Michigan synagogue was motivated by ideology linked to the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and had planned the assault in advance. He rammed a truck into the building, which also housed children, and opened fire before dying by suicide after a confrontation with security.

Authorities said the attack was intended to cause significant harm, though no children or staff were killed and only a security guard was injured. Investigators also noted the attacker had researched targets and expressed a desire to kill as many people as possible.

The incident has heightened concerns about security at religious sites and is being treated as a terrorist attack targeting the Jewish community amid broader regional tensions.
