Prominent Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi was among 30 prisoners freed by Israel early on Thursday under an extended temporary Gaza truce between Israel and Hamas, according to Israeli and Palestinian officials.
The activist was arrested earlier this month during an Israeli army raid it claimed targeted “individuals suspected of being involved in terrorist activities and incitement to hatred” in the northern West Bank.
Tamimi became famous at age 14 when she was filmed biting an Israeli soldier to prevent him from arresting her brother who had his arm in a cast.
She has become an icon of the Palestinian cause and a large portrait of her has been painted on the Israeli separation wall with the West Bank in Bethlehem near Jerusalem.
