Israel has released 17-year-old Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi which has revived the spirit and moral of Palestinians. Tamimi was arrested last December after a video went viral showing her slapping and shoving two Israeli soldiers during a raid on the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, northwest of the city of Ramallah. According to latest figures provided by the Palestinian prisoners rights group Addameer, some 5,900 Palestinians are currently being held in Israeli jails, many of them in administrative detention. The attempts to break Tamimis spirit continued after her arrest as well. Police and military intelligence used aggressive measures, questionably legal, in interrogating her, such as the threat of imprisonment of relatives and harassment by one of her interrogators
