Wednesday 21-March-2018

The Israeli military court of Ofer on Wednesday sentenced the Palestinian female teenager Ahed al-Tamimi to eight months in jail according to Haaretz Hebrew newspaper.

Ahed who is 17 years old was arrested on December 19 2017 after a video showing her slapping two Israeli soldiers who tried to break into her family house in Nabi Saleh village in Ramallah went viral.

Ahed was also accused of incitement in addition to other charges as she called in a Facebook post for anti-settlement marches and asked the world to act against the US president Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
