Palestinian teenager jailed for slapping soldiers leaves prison: spokesman
JERUSALEM, July 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi left
prison Sunday after an eight-month sentence for slapping two Israeli
soldiers, an episode captured on video that made her a symbol of resistance
for Palestinians, a prison service spokesman said.
Assaf Librati told AFP Tamimi, 17, and her mother, who was also jailed over
the incident, were being driven by Israeli authorities from a prison inside
Israel to a checkpoint leading to the occupied West Bank, where they live.
