TEHRAN, July 29 - Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi was finally released from Israeli regime's prison on Sunday after an eight-month sentence.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - She had been charged for slapping two Israeli occupation regime's soldiers.
The episode captured on video went viral on Facebook and made her a symbol of resistance for Palestinians.
The confrontation reportedly erupted after Israeli forces shot Tamimi’s cousin in the face with rubber bullet earlier that day leading to her anger.
Faced with embarrassment because of that video going viral, Israelis decided to arrest the courageous teenager. They took her into custody on December 19.
According to some accounts, 20 Israeli army Jeeps arrived at Ahed's house before dawn to arrest her. Thirteen days later, she was charged with alleged assault, incitement, and throwing stones at Israeli military soldiers.
Her now-familiar image has been painted on Israel's separation wall cutting off the West Bank. Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has praised her and social media has been flooded with support.
