ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: This next story takes us to the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the streets of Tel Aviv. But it’s not about the current war between Israel and Hamas. It’s about a murder exactly one year earlier, in October 2022. What Israeli media reported as an anti-gay hate crime, an NPR investigation found to be more complex. NPR’s Daniel Estrin and producer Nuha Musleh report on an unresolved quest for justice. DANIEL ESTRIN, BYLINE: The murder took place around sunset, according to investigators. Two young men were drinking tea on a balcony in the ancient city of Hebron when one was stabbed and posthumously beheaded. The other was arrested, covered in blood. I met with two Israelis who knew the victim, Maiyan Price Zohar and Ofir Zweigenbom. They had been counselors at an Israeli shelter for gay Palestinians who had run away from home.
