Israeli soldiers have subjected a one-year-old child in central Gaza to torture to pressure his father into making confessions during an interrogation, Palestine TV reported, citing Palestinian journalist Osama Al-Kahlout.

It aired footage showing injuries to the child, identified as Karim, after he was detained by Israeli forces near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza.

While taking his child to buy supplies, he was caught up in gunfire near his home and was forced by Israeli soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach a nearby military checkpoint, where he was stripped and interrogated.

The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning one of his legs with cigarettes, pricking him and inserting a nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report.

The report said the child suffered burn marks from cigarettes and puncture wounds in his leg caused by the nail.

    Imagine being capable of torturing a child? Hearing the screams and cry’s from pain that you’re inflicting and not having a reaction. Perhaps even worse and enjoying it?

    That’s some evil shit right there.

      They don’t see them as children. They’re just seen as “future terrorists”, and someTHING that needs to be cleaned up for their God given destiny to be fulfilled.

        Saying, they see them as future terrorists is unfair. There is only one reason you can do this kind of thing to a baby, and it’s through Dehumanization. It’s years snd years of this kind of propaganda.

      something about religions and militaries only lead to institutions of the criminaly insane.

      look at the crusades and you will see parallels.
