Washington: A son of Palestinian origin has been stabbed to death in the US amid growing concerns that the Israel-Hamas war may spread to other areas. Six-year-old Wadi
Al Fayoum was killed. The child’s mother, Hanan Shah, was also seriously injured. U.S. The incident took place in Plainfield, Illinois. The child was killed by 71-year-old Joseph Chuba, the owner of the house where the family lived.

Police say the murder was motivated by hatred towards the family in the wake of the Israel-Hamas conflict. He came to their house and attacked both of them with a knife in his hand. The child’s mother informed the police.

The police took both of them to the hospital. But the six-year-old died on the way to the hospital. The child was stabbed 26 times. The wounds of both of them are on the chest and hands. The seriously injured mother is undergoing treatment. There is a slight improvement in their health condition. The police found the killer, Joseph Chuba, near his house. Fayoum’s family came to the U.S. from the West Bank 12 years ago. A case of murder and religious hatred has been registered against Joseph.

The U.S. condemned the violence. President Joe Biden has made it clear that hate of any kind has no place in America. Biden also said that America is a place where anyone can live without fear, regardless of faith or religion. Biden also stated that we should stand together against all forms of religious fanaticism, hate propaganda and anti-Muslim.
