Approximately 10 minutes before the attack, he sends his sister two final videos.
In Arabic, he records himself saying with this screenshot, this is the largest gathering of Israelis in the state of Michigan, in the United States.
I have booby-trapped the car.
I will forcibly enter and start shooting them.
God willing, I will kill as many of them as I possibly can.
He sends a quick three-second video with the same screenshot shortly after and types the message, a special operation.
Do not be misled.
This terrorist acted on behalf of Hezbollah, and he intended to kill others, not just himself.
He could have done that in a garage or in his basement.
He did not need to plan for days, arm himself, and try to take dozens of Jewish American children with him.
His death was just a means or a tool
to kill as many Jews as he could.
That's why his last statements were that he was on a special operation to kill as many of them as he possibly can.
I've seen some odd attempts to explain away or even lessen this terrorist attack by claiming that he was an isolated lone wolf, but that is misleading.
Terrorist propaganda is designed to activate the so-called lone wolf to act on behalf of the terrorist organization.
and it makes no legal difference if the current leader of Hezbollah himself, Naim Qasem, called this man and told him to attack Temple Israel, or whether he simply heeded Hezbollah's call to kill Jews, and in his words, burn their world.
How would you do that?
Would you send in the Marines?
Would you take a chance in a war?
Let them have Iran.
