Trial of Palestinian teen soldier slapper postponed to February 13
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe trial of Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi before an Israeli military court has been postponed for a week and is now scheduled to begin on February 13.
Tamimi, who turned 17 in prison last week, was charged with assault and incitement after she slapped and punched two Israeli soldiers in her West Bank village in December. The incident was captured and widely shared online.
Defense lawyer Gaby Lasky says that the trial, which was set to begin Tuesday, was delayed because the prosecution was slow in sharing evidence.
The military confirms the new starting date.
