Trial of Palestinian 'Superheroine': Israeli military court trial of Palestinian teen protest icon begins
[]
Palestinian protest icon Ahed Tamimi has gone to trial before an Israeli military court for slapping and kicking two Israeli soldiers in a West Bank village. The Israeli military Judge overseeing the trial has ordered all proceedings to take place behind closed doors. Earlier, Israel treated Tamimi's actions as a criminal offense, indicting her on charges of assault and incitement. The case has drawn wide criticism of Israel for prosecuting the teenager.
