Newly released photos show the extent of destruction inside Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, following last week\u2019s Hezbollah-linked terrorist attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Images obtained by The Daily Wire and released by the synagogue capture a\u00a0burned-out truck lodged at the end of a hallway, debris scattered across the floor, and sprinkler water pooling around a child\u2019s red tricycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

The attack occurred last Thursday when 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali rammed his vehicle into Temple Israel and opened fire before committing suicide when confronted by security. Authorities say the vehicle ignited after the crash, causing extensive damage and <\/span>resulting in<\/span><\/a> 63 first responders needing treatment for smoke inhalation. <\/span><\/p>\n

The attack took place while the synagogue\u2019s preschool was in <\/span>session<\/span><\/a>, but all 140 children and staff were safely evacuated without injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

Large quantities of fireworks and gasoline containers that were ignited were recovered from his truck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional images show charred hallways, broken glass, burnt photos, and destroyed ceilings. One preschool classroom appears frozen in time, with snacks still laid out on tables, underscor<\/span>ing how suddenly the attack unfolded while young children were inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, the synagogue said it chose to release the photos to \u201ctake back control of our narrative.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have chosen thus far not to make public photos of the devastation of our building,\u201d the synagogue said. \u201cThis week, several videos and photos have made their way into the media, which have caused considerable harm to the survivors of last week\u2019s attack.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It added that its \u201ccommunity deserves to see our building through eyes of love, not through the lens of spectacle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our sacred space, and we will be the ones to tell its story,\u201d Temple Israel said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Israel Defense Forces and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Ghazali had family members in Lebanon connected to the U.S.-designated terror group Hezbollah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ghazali, a naturalized American citizen originally from Lebanon, was reportedly described as \u201cmentally unstable\u201d by his ex-wife. She said he had been distressed following the deaths of family members in an Israeli airstrike.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
