PALESTINIAN teen Ahed Tamimi will be put on trial tomorrow by the Israeli military for slapping two soldiers who had grievously wounded her 15-year-old cousin by shooting him in the face at close range with a rubber-coated steel bullet.

Ms Tamimi turned 17 in prison last month and is one of 300 Palestinian minors jailed illegally in Israel by the occupation forces.

Israel’s army has charged her with assault and incitement and she could face years in prison if convicted by a military judge.
