Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi released from prison

High-profile Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi has arrived in Ramallah after being released as part of the truce between Israel and Hamas.

Tamimi was detained earlier this month over what her family said was an Instagram post she didn't make  that referenced Hitler and the “slaughter” of settlers.

Tamimi has often been referred to as an icon of the Palestinian resistance.

She garnered widespread media attention in 2017 when she was arrested following an altercation with Israeli soldiers who refused to leave her home in Nabi Saleh, a village in the occupied West Bank. Tamimi was just 16 years old at the time she was sentenced to eight months in an Israeli prison.
