Israeli court extends detention of Palestinian who slapped soldier

A military court has extended the detention of a Palestinian teen who was filmed kicking and slapping Israeli soldiers.

Ahed Tamimi, a 16-year-old from the West Bank village of Nebi Saleh, was arrested last week by Israeli troops and faces charges of attacking soldiers. The court on Monday extended Tamimi’s detention, along with those of her mother and cousin, for four days for questioning.
