Israeli court renews Palestinian child detention

Ofar Israeli court decided on Monday to renew the detention of Palestinian child Ahed Al-Tamimi,17, who is accused of beating Israeli soldiers ,until Thursday as “she is considered a danger on the security of the state.”

The court will decide later if it will also renew the detention of Ahed’s mother, Nariman Al-Tamimi,43, and Ahed’s cousin, Nour Al-Tamimi, after she appeared in a video beating two Israeli soldiers along with Ahed at Al-Nabi Saleh village located in occupied West Bank.
