Palestinians clash with Israeli troops at rally for soldier-slapping teen
[IsraelTimes] Arab MK says IDF tried to prevent his attendance at solidarity protest for Ahed Tamimi in Nabi Saleh; army declares area a closed military zone

Hundreds of Paleostinian protesters clashed with Israeli troops on Saturday near the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, as a rally was held there in support of a 16-year-old Paleostinian girl nabbed
Please don't kill me!
 for slapping and shoving IDF soldiers.

Aheh Tamimi, along with her mother Nariman and cousin Nour, was arrested in December over a widely shared video in which the three could be seen violently accosting soldiers in Nabi Saleh, in an apparent attempt to provoke them. The mother and daughter were both charged in a military court earlier this month with aggravated assault of soldiers over the incident and remain in Israeli custody.

Nour Tamimi, 21, was also charged with aggravated assault of a soldier, but was ordered released by the court.

On Saturday, a rally was held for the Tamimis, with the Israeli military saying that hundreds of Paleostinians threw rocks at soldiers and shouted slogans inciting violence against Israelis. The IDF said troops responded with riot dispersal means and that there were no reported injuries.

The IDF also declared the area around the village a closed military zone, in light of the violence, the army said. However,

 it said it allowed Joint (Arab) List head Ayman Odeh to enter the village despite the closure. The army said it didn’t know whether Odeh participated in the festivities.

A spokeswoman for Odeh said soldiers tried to prevent the politician from entering the village and asked to search his car, but eventually let him continue without doing so. Odeh later posted a video of himself at the rally, which he said was attended by "thousands of Paleostinians and Jews who came to call for the release of the heroes Ahed and Nariman Tamimi."
