Illinois man stabbed 6-year-old Muslim boy 26 times in hate crime motivated by Israel-Hamas war: police

An Illinois man, Joseph Czuba, has been charged with hate crimes for stabbing a 6-year-old Muslim boy to death and injuring his mother in a religiously motivated attack. He targeted them due to their Muslim identity and as a response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The boy, Wadea Al-Fayoume, was stabbed 26 times with a military-style knife, while his mother, Hanaan Shahin, had more than a dozen stab wounds. Although the mother is expected to survive, this brutal crime has caused widespread concern.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has denounced the incident and urged an end to Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism in society. FBI Director Christopher Wray has also warned about the need for vigilance in this tense environment.
