In this video shot last year, 16-year-old Palestinian girl Ahed Tamimi is seen repeatedly hitting an Israeli soldier.
The video went viral!
Just moments before, an Israeli soldier had shot her cousin in the head with a rubber bullet.
He survived.
Days later police raided Tamimi’s house and arrested her.
The trial lasted for months.
Tamimi finally pled guilty and she served a total of eight months in prison.
She was released from prison this past Sunday and received a hero’s homecoming.
She has now become a representative of the Palestinian cause.
Her message is of Palestinian unity and she hasn’t ruled out a career in politics.
But remember she still a kid.
The first thing she wanted when she was released from prison was pistachio ice cream.
