Ahed Tamimi. The Voice of the Resistance

In late 2011, an Israeli soldier killed Mustafa Tamimi, 28, after shooting him in the face with a tear gas canister at close range. Just under a year later, Rushdi Tamimi, 31, was shot in the back with live ammunition and died in hospital a few days later. In November 2014, Nariman Tamimi was shot in the leg with live ammunition at close range, leaving her on crutches for a year. Five months later, Manal Tamimi was also shot in the leg with a live bullet. Bassem Tamimi, Ahed’s father, has spent several extended periods in administrative detention for his role in leading the demonstrations in Nabi Saleh. Israel's IDF then shot dead Ahed's cousin in the New Year, the first Palestinian child killing of 2018. Ahed was in custody at the time she was informed of his death.
