The village of Nabi Saleh has been part of the popular resistance movement, with each member of the community contributing to the resistance, including a 9-year-old girl.

Nabi Saleh is a small Palestinian village in the Ramallah and al-Bireh district in the central West Bank, located 20 kilometers northwest of Ramallah, with a population of over 530 people.

The village’s residents have hosted weekly demonstrations for years in protest at the confiscation of the village’s lands and the takeover of their spring by the nearby Israeli settlement Halamish.

The members of the Nabi Saleh community have given each other different roles in their struggle against the Israeli occupation. Some of them organize the demonstrations, others write the slogans and chants, and 9-year-old Jenna Jihad has decided she will make small news reports to cover the crimes of the Israeli military forces and the events of the popular resistance committees.
