Ramallah, July 30 (RHC)-- Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi was released from Israeli custody on Sunday after nearly eight months of incarceration. Ahed thanked her family and supporters who stood by her and supported her, while also saying that her release felt bitter-sweet because of her Palestinian sisters and brothers who are still locked up in Israeli prisons.
"My happiness is not complete without other Palestinian prisoners who are not with me. I hope that they will also be freed," Ahed told local and international reporters Sunday afternoon, shortly after her release.
Ahed was arrested on December 19, 2017, days after being filmed -- with her cousin Nour Tamimi -- slapping and kicking two Israeli soldiers who had invaded the Tamimi home, near Ramallah.
The 17-year-old -- who celebrated a birthday while behind bars -- garnered international attention and major support from high-profile artists, actors, academics, and athletes across the globe.
