The Palestinian teen filmed slapping an Israeli soldier gets eight months in jail

JERUSALEM —Ahed Tamimi, the 17-year-old who became a Palestinian cause celebre after a video of her slapping an Israeli soldier went viral, was sentenced to eight months in jail on Wednesday after agreeing to a plea bargain.

The sentence includes the three months Tamimi has served since she was denied bail, according to her lawyer, Gaby Lasky, putting her release date in July.

The prosecution dropped eight of the 12 charges against Tamimi, including separate accusations of stone throwing. She pleaded guilty to four charges, including assault of a soldier, reduced from an earlier charge of aggravated assault.

Will be facing felony charges as an adult.

This girl is spending 8 months in juvy.

Maybe she can get some counseling.
