The man, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, was a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who had lost four family members in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon the previous week. No injuries were reported from the synagogue staff, teachers, or 140 children at the early childhood center. The attack is being investigated by the FBI.
