Family in Gaza says toddler detained by Israeli forces for 10 hours

A mother in Gaza has said her 21-month-old son was detained alongside his father by Israeli forces and returned to his family 10 hours later alone.

Doctors who examined toddler Jawad Abu Nassar found that wounds on his legs were consistent with cigarette burns and signs of torture.

The Israeli military denies abusing the child and says his father, who remains missing, was a Hamas member who used him as a human shield. It has not publicly provided evidence to support that claim.

This report from Sky’s international correspondent John Sparks contains some distressing images.
