Military court extends remand of soldier-slapping Palestinian teen
An Ofer Military Court judge extends the remand of 16-year-old Ahed Tamimi, who was filmed slapping and shoving soldiers last month in the West Bank village of Nebi Saleh.
At the conclusion of arguments read by Tamimi’s attorney Gaby Lasky and the Military Advocate General, the judge extends the 16-year-old’s remand for an additional two days until he makes a decision on whether to hold her until the end of proceedings.
The judge also extends the remand of Tamimi’s mother Nariman until Wednesday.
Military prosecutors submitted an indictment against Tamimi on January 1 on 12 charges including aggravated assault and incitement.
