Palestinian protest icon Ahed Tamimi was released from Israeli prison after the end of her eight-month sentence for slapping and kicking Israeli soldiers.
The then 16-year-old went viral after a video showed her confronting two Israeli soldiers who refused to leave her yard, turning her into a symbol of resistance over Israel’s half-century old military rule over the Palestinians.
Ahed and her mother returned to a hero’s welcome and greeted with banners, cheers and Palestinian flags in their West Bank village.
