A 26-year-old resident of southern Israel has been indicted for allegedly inflicting severe injuries on his infant daughter, resulting in multiple fractures. The indictment details a pattern of cruel and violent behavior that caused the baby to suffer broken ribs, a fractured femur, bleeding around her eyes, and hemorrhages in her vision. Medical teams treated the infant in mid-July, requiring her hospitalization for five days.
The father reportedly admitted that his actions appeared violent and cruel but claimed they were not performed with excessive force. He also suggested the leg fractures were caused by a dog leash, which he pulled while arguing with a neighbor's dog. However, investigators presented security camera footage contradicting his explanations. The suspect now claims he does not precisely recall the events.
Prosecutors are seeking to detain the suspect until the end of legal proceedings, citing his dangerousness as evidenced by his alleged actions. The infant's mother testified that the father's assault on the child was extremely violent and caused her injuries.
