Israel arrests Ahed Tamimi’s mother

Israeli occupation police yesterday arrested Nariman Tamimi, the mother of 16-year-old Ahed who had been arrested during a dawn raid on her house in the village of Nabi Saleh in the occupied West Bank.

Ahed has accused of inciting against occupation forces, while her mother attacked Israeli officers and incited against them.

Nariman was detained yesterday afternoon, her lawyer said, after she went to an Israeli police station to ask about the whereabouts of her daughter.

The family’s home had been raided by Israeli occupation forces yesterday.
