The 17-year old Ahed Tamimi appears less than overawed by her imprisonment of eight months.  “The resistance continues until the occupation is removed,” Ahed said upon her return. “All the female prisoners are steadfast. I salute everyone who supported me and my case.” Many in Israel see her “as a provocateur, an irritation or a threat to the military’s deterrence policy.” To many Palestinians and their supporters “… Ahed instantly turned into a symbol of resistance and with her unruly mop of curly hair, the Palestinian teen quickly became a local hero and an internationally recognisable figure.”

Al Jazeera has more context and details on right-wing Israeli reactions and reporting on the prison Tamimi stayed in.

Update: How to go about making profitable use of prison time. Tamimi got her high school diploma while in jail. Also, news clip from TRT.
