WEST BANK, July 31: The Palestinian teen Ahed Tamimi, who has become an icon for Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation, will be honored in South Africa with a special award from the grandson of Nelson Mandela, South African news outlets reported Monday a day after she was released from prison upon serving an 8-month sentence for standing up to Israeli soldiers during a raid at her home in Nabi Saleh Village in the West Bank.

BETHLEHEM, July 26: The mural appeared on the separation wall in Bethlehem just days before the 17-year-old activist is due to be released. An unknown artist has painted a mural of Palestinian resistance icon Ahed Tamimi on the Israeli separation wall in Bethlehem, just as her father said she might be released on Sunday after almost eight months of unjust imprisonment.

WEST BANK, July 25: Bassem Tamimi told media he expects Ahed will be realeased early, but Israeli authorities have not confirmed this. Palestinian teen Ahed Tamimi, who has been held in an Israeli prison for slapping a fully armed Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank town of Nabi Saleh, is expected to be released this Sunday according to her father, Bassem Tamimi.
