A Los Angeles Home Intruder Vows to Kill Jewish Family in Terrifying Attack

Wednesday’s incident marked the latest in a string of extreme attacks across the country since the outbreak of the Israeli-Hamas conflict almost three weeks ago. Both Jewish Americans and Palestinian Americans have been targeted.

Two weeks ago, a 6-year-old Palestinian boy and his mother, who lived in a Chicago suburb, were brutally stabbed by their landlord, Joseph M. Czuba, 71.

The child was fatally stabbed 26 times and his mother was rushed to the hospital with over a dozen stab wounds. Police said the victims were “targeted by the suspect due to them being Muslim and the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict involving Hamas and the Israelis.”

A week after the child’s murder, prominent Jewish community leader Samantha Woll was found fatally stabbed outside of her home in Detroit.
