TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Israeli forces have reportedly tortured a one-year-old Palestinian toddler in Gaza to pressure his father into a confession during interrogation, according to Palestine TV, citing journalist Osama Al-Kahlout.
The television station aired footage showing injuries on the child, identified as Karim, after he was detained by Israeli forces near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
Quoted from TNT World, eyewitnesses said the child's father, Osama Abu Nassar, has been traumatized following the death of the horse he relied on for his livelihood.
While taking his son to buy necessities, Abu Nassar was caught in crossfire near his home and was forced by Israeli forces to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach a military checkpoint, where he was stripped and interrogated.
The forces reportedly tortured the child in front of his father, including burning one of his legs with a cigarette, stabbing him, and inserting a nail into his leg, as confirmed by medical reports.
The report stated that the child suffered cigarette burns and stab wounds in his leg caused by the nail.
The child was released approximately 10 hours later and handed over to his family via the International Committee of the Red Cross in Al-Maghazi, while his father remains in Israeli detention.
The family has filed a request with international organizations to intervene and secure the father's release so he can continue to receive medical treatment.
