Tel Aviv, January 3 (RHC)-- An Israeli military court has indicted 16-year-old Palestinian Ahed Tamimi on 12 charges, including throwing stones and aggravated assault, after a video showed her slapping a soldier in the occupied West Bank. The incident came after Israeli troops shot Tamimi’s 14-year-old brother in the head with a rubber-coated steel bullet and fired tear gas canisters into her family’s home.
Media reports say that the soldier actually slapped the 16-year-old girl first, causing her to slap back. Israeli prosecutors have asked a military judge to keep Tamimi jailed while she awaits trial.
