Ahed Tamimi Palestinian activist among 50 prisoners listed for release

Tamimi, 22, was on the list released by Israel's justice ministry yesterday.

The writer, part of a prominent family from the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, has been a symbol of resistance against the Israeli occupation for her protest action and confronting Israeli soldiers since she was about 11 years old.

Tamimi was sentenced to eight months in prison for slapping and kicking an Israeli soldier in 2017 after her 15-year-old cousin was shot in the head with a rubber bullet during a protest. The incident was filmed, propelling the then-16-year-old to worldwide fame.

She was rearrested in November for alleged incitement on social media in the aftermath of the 7 October attack by Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, which killed 1,200 Israelis and triggered the new war in Gaza that has killed almost 14,000 Palestinians and caused a devastating humanitarian crisis.
