Reports allege that Israeli forces tortured an 18-month-old toddler in Gaza by burning him with cigarettes and inflicting severe injuries while detaining him with his father in central Gaza. The abuse was reportedly aimed at pressuring the father during interrogation. Medical assessments cited burns and physical trauma, including a wound caused by a sharp object. Israeli authorities have firmly denied the allegations, calling them false and accusing militant groups of spreading misinformation. They stated the child received medical treatment from Israeli personnel and was later safely transferred. The incident has intensified international concern over alleged human rights violations amid the ongoing Gaza conflict. (PC: X)
