2 Palestinian women in court over Israeli soldier slap video

Two more Palestinian women appeared in an Israeli military court Thursday after a viral video appeared to show an assault on Israeli soldiers in the West Bank.

Nariman Tamimi, 43, and Nour Naji Tamimi, 21, were detained in a case that has set Israeli and Palestinian social media alight.

The video filmed in the village of Nabi Saleh in the West Bank shows Nour and her cousin Ahed Tamimi, 16, approaching two Israeli soldiers, before shoving, kicking and punching them while filming on mobile phones.

The heavily armed soldiers do not respond in the face of what appears to be an attempt to provoke them.
