The Israeli occupation Ofer military court extended the detention of Ahed, Nour and Nariman Tamimi for four days on 25 December 2017; they will be back before the military court on 29 December, reported the Free the Tamimi Women page on Facebook. The military prosecutors had originally asked for the three women’s detention to be extended for 10 days.

This came after a night of attacks on the village of Nabi Saleh, where the three Tamimi women are, with their families, leaders of the indigenous land defense against Israeli colonization. The illegal settlement of Halamish has confiscated Nabi Saleh’s land as well as its spring. In the nighttime raids, Bassem Tamimi reported that two Palestinian youth, Moatasem and Izz Tamimi, were seized by Israeli occupation forces.

Bilal Tamimi also reported that Nour’s family home was again attacked by occupation forces in the night raid and that soldiers beat Nour’s father, Naji, with rifle butts in his head and chest. “In the end, this systematic terrorism targeting the Tamimi family in Nabi Saleh increases our strength and perseverance to continue our struggle – which we have done with our blood and with our prisoners and the groans of our wounded – until victory and liberation,” said Bilal.
