Hannan Lis and his wife Lisa's roots are in Michigan. But he said they moved to Tel Aviv Israel's capital during COVID-19 to be closer to their kids and grandkids. That's where he said missile strikes have become periodically routine but still deadly.

"The closest (missile strike) be about less than a mile, during the war in June," Lis recalled.

For that reason, as soon as our interview started, we had to cut it short.

Unfortunately, in about a few minutes, well have to go into the safe room," he explained to 7 News Detroit.

During the interview, Lis received a notification that a missile was headed towards Israel.

This is a missile from Iran," he said. "It's something that we knew this day will come," Lis said.

On Saturday when the war between Iran and Israel and the United States started, he said he headed to the safe room, or bomb shelter, about 10 times that day. His wife chronicles her experience on social media.

"Weve had this (chaos) since Oct. 7," he said.

Oct. 7, 2023, is the day war broke out between Israel and Hamas. He said Israelis have made use of apps that alert them to missiles launched in their direction ever since.

Oh, it just went off. Sirens just went off. So, I got to go. Talk to you later," he said.

After 15 minutes in his safe room, Lis messaged 7 News Detroit that it was safe for him to resume the interview.

"We heard the interception. Theres an impact. It depends on how close it is. You hear the impacts," he explained. Almost all the missiles do get intercepted."

If we didnt have the interceptors to intercept them, youll have thousands of people injured or killed," he added.

Despite ongoing wars, he and his wife are staying put in Israel, but they do return to Michigan during the summer months.

"Whatever we have to do to survive to eliminate the threat, we'll do. So, we're willing to endure this week or two of conflict," Lis said.

It's anyone's guess how long this conflict could last. Last June, Iran and Israel fought during what's known as the 12-Day War.

The city of Ann Arbor is considering retiring its outdoor warning sirens and is asking the community for input. 

According to the city, Ann Arbor has 22 outdoor warning sirens, which have reportedly been used twice in the past five years.

The city says the system is in need of repairs and maintenance, with $60,000 expected to be needed for repairs over the next three years and roughly $17,000 needed annually for maintenance. 

There are now ways to reach people with clearer warning information, including through their cell phones, the citys website reads.

7 News Detroit spoke with several residents who live near one of the sirens and got their take about the idea of retiring the system.

The city sends emails, but if youre not on email, youre not going to pick up on that. So, I think the siren is the way to do it, Brian, an Ann Arbor resident, said.

Another resident, Sameer Gudel said, I personally have not benefited from them (the sirens).

The city notes that decommissioning the sirens would not eliminate warnings and that they would expand communication on how people could receive alerts in various ways.

I think it could be harmful if its not there," resident Callie Drohan told 7 News Detroit. Kids play soccer around here in the parks, and people might not know that theres a storm coming in."

The city said the last time they were used was in July of 2023.

I didnt know that they werent used that much. But I mean, if theyre not being used that often, then maybe they can go and we can save the money and put it somewhere else, resident Daniel Esterkin said.

The city has posted a survey on its website, which will be open for the month of March.

A Taylor resident was arrested and charged after a police chase in Huron Township ended at a landfill in Carleton, damaged property and more.

According to the Huron Township Police Department, Taylor police requested assistance for a vehicle with an armed suspect who was being pursued.

The driver had called their department, threatened to shoot officers and racking guns in the background," Chief Everette Robbins told 7 News Detroit.

Felt like it was a dangerous pursuit for a minute, so we initially terminated it," he said.

"The driver got up to speeds of 90 to a hundred miles an hour, at many times crossing over in the center lane."

See the dashcam and bodycam video below Dash cam video shows chase that ended at Wayne County landfill; suspect had 9 guns in the car

Officers assisted and the pursuit continued and was initially terminated; however, the suspect went into the 37000 block of Ash Road and stopped.

As officers approached, the suspect fled the scene and attempted to run over an officer. She also damaged multiple fences in the area.

Resident Holli Eramo recalled, "There were like 10 Huron cops in the driveway with their guns drawn, and he (my son) seen someone go by about 80 miles an hour. He was kinda scared."

She said she was "kind of shocked because that stuff doesnt go on around here.

The chase then continued and the suspect eventually drove into the Carleton Farms Landfill, where she attempted to ram multiple police vehicles. Eventually, she was blocked in and taken into custody.

Officers Ali Nahli and Hailey Briggs said in high-intensity moments, they allow their training to kick in.

"Adrenalines going. Very intense. Youre not sure of the outcome," Nahil told 7 News Detroit.

Briggs explained, You kinda gotta coach yourself through the situation, what's happening in front of us and listening to the radio.

On the other end of the radio was dispatcher Corrina Schear.

"Things like this don't happen very frequently in our department, which I think we're all very fortunate that they don't, but when they do, I think we all work really well together to make sure everybody gets home safe," she explained.

Police said three officers sustained minor injuries and they were treated at the scene.

When police searched the suspect's vehicle, they found nine guns inside, a mixture of handguns and rifles with scopes.

"I think that the thought maybe it was a mental health episode. We received information later that there were at least three prior pursuits with other departments over the last few days, that they had attempted to get her some help," Robbins said.

Romulus leaders unanimously passed a resolution opposing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility plan Monday night after demonstrators clashed outside before a city council meeting.

The council approved the resolution, stating the facility would be a drag on the city.

Citizens showed up to Romulus City Hall en masse, voicing their opposition. Before the meeting, protesters who gathered outside city hall to push back against the plan were met by counter-protesters and there was pushing, shoving and shouting matches. Protesters yelled "Nazis go home," at the counter-protesters.

"We have to let them know what's going on here is not right," one protester told 7 News Detroit.

Federal immigration officials purchased a vacant building in Romulus with a plan to convert it into a detention facility, sparking concern among residents and local officials about the project's impact on the community.

The facility would be housed in the former Gage Marketing Group headquarters. ICE says the project will create nearly 1,500 jobs and contribute $160 million to the GDP while roughly $33 million in tax revenue.

However, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who attended the rally, says the facility is a detriment.

"It's horrifying, especially when you learn that ICE outbid an auto supplier," McMorrow said.

Only about 30 to 40 community members got into the meeting because the room was at capacity.

The crowd outside chanted let us in. The crowd inside was pleased to hear the council pass a resolution opposing the detention center.

Whereas, the existence of a detention center within the city of Romulus would have direct negative implications for local public safety, municipal services, land use capabilities and economic development, Romulus City Councilwoman Celeste Roscoe said during the meeting.

It was welcome news from those who went to make their voice heard.

And I think thats proof that this works. We mobilize, we stood out here, we chanted, we fought back and were going to hit them in every single area we can, said Zane Parker, a protester.

Yet, some are not convinced it goes far enough.

It will take a lot more of that, of mass mobilization, strikes, walkouts, direct action to actually stop this from happening, said Kate Stenvig, another protester.

During the meeting, Mayor Robert McCraight said the city will not issue a permit or a certificate of occupancy unless mandated by a federal judge to do so.

We reached out to the U.S. Department of Human Services following the resolution but have not yet heard back.

A Detroit man said a routine walk hes made hundreds of times to and from his apartment building turned violent last Monday. He and his fiancee are now looking for a sense of safety and justice.

The reported attack happened in the skywalk of the New Center parking garage on Lothrop Street on Feb. 9 around 7 p.m. The skywalk connects the parking garage to his apartment building.

Watch Darren Cunningham's video report below: Man recalls attack in Detroit skywalk resulting in stolen, totaled vehicle

They were just kicking indiscriminately my head, my back, my side, everywhere. I was just sort of curled up in a fetal position doing my best to block any blows," Chad recalled.

He shared images of the bruises and scratches he said four youth inflicted.

They said get em, and they jumped on me. They said where are your keys? Give me your keys," the man recalled.

Chad said he ran back into the garage, the group pinned him down and thats when the kicking started.

They stole his cellphone before tossing it, his wallet and his keys. A couple of hours after reporting the assault to police. He and his fiancee, Emily, said they got a knock on the door.

The first thing I thought was who is it? Because they had my wallet. They had my address, Chad recalled.

It was Detroit police.

They said Um yeah, they took your car and its completely totaled. Its really bad. Its going to need to be towed," Emily told 7 News Detroit.

They learned the teens had stolen the vehicle and crashed it into a pole after a chase with Detroit police around 9 p.m. Emily said the traumatic event has put her and her fianc in deeper financial bind, and it's added insult to the injuries the suspect's inflicted. They say they're paying hundreds of dollars for a rental vehicle, and now they've started a GoFundMe.

A neighbor found his wallet, and they later learned Chad's cellphone was tossed on the second floor of the parking garage. A security guard found the phone.

Its really sad because I love Detroit, and its kind of like that stereotype kind of played out on us. Its a tough feeling. I just want him to get justice," she said.

Emily said part of that justice is for the owner of the parking garage, Bedrock Detroit, to take accountability for a security lapse.

The couple said they pay $120 per month to park in that garage.

7 News Detroit reached out to the company about the incident. A Bedrock spokesperson said in a statement:

We are aware of an incident that took place near the new center garage on Monday, February 9, 2026. There is an active investigation underway, and we are fully cooperating with local law enforcement. All further inquiries may be directed to the Detroit Police Department."

Im just going to keep my eyes out for loiterers. Thats a weird thing to say but, ya know, thats the people that got me. They were just loitering, and Im going to keep my head on a swivel," Chad said.

Detroit police told 7 News Detroit a warrant packet has been submitted to the Wayne County Prosecutors Office, which will then determine any charges.

Dearborn police want help identifying a man who they say installed a card skimmer on an ATM at the Bank of America branch on Warren Avenue and Hartwell this week.

Investigators say it's not the first time that same machine has been hit.

Dearborn police chief Issa Shahin explained, "A skimming device is something that is inserted, generally, into the ATM machine, and it's going to capture your banking information so that someone can then access your bank account and try to steal your funds."

For many local customers, the discovery is a frustrating reminder of a problem they're seeing all over metro Detroit.

"They been doing that at the gas stations too. When you put your tap in," customer Jaanna Glenn told 7 News Detroit. "I'm not surprised at all, but I wish they stop doing it cause it's hard for people who actually work and pay they bills. When we come, try and get our money, and you done took it."

Israel Omoniyi said, "People doing stuff like this, it just make it hard for people, hardworking people. I work 12-hour shifts. Yeah, it's unfair."

Chief Shahin said this is the second time this specific ATM has been hit in just a matter of weeks. In both cases, he said the skimmers were discovered by an ATM technician.

"It is really bold. Oftentimes, when we've had these similar incidents, they're usually organized crime rings from outside our local area. Ya know, your average person doesn't know how to do these things," he explained.

So far, the chief said no losses have been reported to police. But to protect yourself, he suggests you wiggle the card reader before inserting your card. If it feels loose or looks out of place, then don't use it and of course, report it.

When asked what she'd say to the thief, Glenn's replied, "Go get a job. Go get a job and leave us regular people alone."

Omoniyi said, "If you helping these type of people, speak up cause they'll steal from you too."

Police also suggest shielding the keypad while typing your pin number, in case thieves have hidden a camera nearby. Anyone with information on the case should call Dearborn police at 313-943-3030.

At his pre-trial conference Thursday, suspected murderer Jarvis Butts pleaded guilty to killing Na'Ziyah Harris, 13. He will serve 35 to 60 years in prison minimum.

Even with a confession in hand, Na'Ziyah's family said they are not finished fighting. They are now calling for a deeper investigation into the systems and individuals they believe paved the way for this tragedy.

"Knowing something, feeling something, and then having it confirmed, its a different type of pain," Kewana Morton, Na'Ziyah's cousin, told 7 News Detroit.

Investigators believe Butts killed Na'Ziyah to cover his tracks after impregnating her. As part of a plea deal, Butts also pleaded guilty to five other cases of sexual assault.

"He will serve that 60 years if we have anything to do with it. He will die in prison," Jernell Smith-Holland, Na'Ziyah's great aunt, told 7 News Detroit.

She said she wanted to see a life sentence but believes getting him off the streets is a win for his other young victims currently grappling with trauma. However, the familys focus is now shifting toward accountability for those who failed to protect the 13-year-old.

"Jarvis was not the only person at fault. She would have never been in his hands if she hadn't been neglected or endangered. The signs were there; the warnings and complaints were there. CPS has the complaints. Detroit police have the complaints," Smith-Holland said.

CPS has acknowledged that prior complaints were submitted. Detroit police also admitted to 7 News Detroit that the department failed to investigate a 2022 claim that butts had touched Na'Ziyah inappropriately.

"The people responsible for NaZiyah lied. They need to be held responsible just as much as Jarvis. We have other children who may go back into the hands of the people who put them in harms way. We cannot do this. Im tired of the ball being dropped," Smith-Holland said.

While Butts has confessed, Na'Ziyah's body has still not been recovered. 7 News Detroit spoke with legal expert Todd Perkins about the details of the plea deal.

"My understanding is that, in order to take advantage of this plea, information had to have already been provided," Perkins said.

He offered a word of encouragement to the family as they continue to push for accountability.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Dont stop. I think about the mothers who have lost kids where nothing was done, but they just dont stop and eventually, something breaks," Perkins said.

Smith-Holland replied, "Thank you very much. We don't plan on stopping. We're going to keep moving forward."

Butts is scheduled for sentencing on March 12.

Students at the University of Michigan are mourning the death of 19-year-old Lucas Mattson. His body was found on Cambridge Road near Washtenaw Avenue in the freezing temperatures on Saturday.

"Its undeniably a tragedy," sophomore Blake Becker said.

Watch Darren Cunningham's video report below: University of Michigan students mourn death of classmate found in freezing temperatures

Sophomore Riley Maczik told 7 News Detroit, I was really upset about it. A lot of my friends were at the same venue that Lucas was at, so its really sad to see that that could literally happen to anybody. It doesnt matter who you are (or) where youre at.

Sophomore Matthew Like said, We have sense of community, even with people you dont know at the university. So to see anyone, even if you dont know them personally from your community pass like that, its tragic.

Ann Arbor police said Mattson was last seen walking on Hill Street around 1 a.m. on Friday after leaving a party at Delta Chi fraternity. According to investigators, he didnt have on a coat in the frigid temperatures and wasn't reported missing until about 15 hours later.

The search began and Mattsons body was found at 12:05 p.m. on Saturday on Cambridge. He was located around the corner from Delta Chi.

Police said it appears he died of exposure to the frigid temperatures, but theyre working to learn an exact cause of death. An autopsy was scheduled to take place Monday.

Its just really heartbreaking, Maczik said.

The University of Michigan said Mattson was not a member of Delta Chi nor was he a pledge of the fraternity, but he was a guest at the party.

In that same letter to the campus community, university President Domenico Grasso said:

We must let the investigators complete their work and refrain from speculation until the facts are known.

He went on to say hes instructed the

vice president for student life and executive director of public safety and security to retrace the events that occurred this weekend. We want to better understand what transpired and identify possible steps to help prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Maczik said, We always need to hold each other accountable. Make sure you never leave anywhere alone. Like its unsafe no matter where youre at and just make sure youre always there for your friends and talk to somebody when they need anything.

The university has counselors on hand for anyone who needs support.

7 News Detroit spoke with Mattsons grandmother who was too distraught to do an interview. We learned he was an engineering student from Alaska.
