An Illinois man charged with stabbing a six-year-old Palestinian boy to death and leaving his mother with serious injuries in what authorities believe was a hate crime motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Joseph Czuba, a 71-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, was indicted by a grand jury last week on three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and two counts of hate crime, according to online court records.
