The Tamimi Family
Born on Jan. 31, 2001 in the village of Nabi Saleh near the West Bank city of Ramallah, al-Tamimi hails from a family known for defying Israel’s decades-long occupation.
Several of her family members, including her parents and brothers, have been repeatedly arrested by the Israeli authorities.
In 2012, her uncle, Rushdie al-Tamimi, was shot dead by Israeli troops in Nabi Saleh. In 1993, her aunt, Bassima al-Tamimi, was beaten to death by an Israeli policeman while attending her son’s trial.
Since her early childhood, Ahed attended weekly anti-occupation rallies in her village.
During these rallies, her parents recalled, she would yell and shout insults at Israeli troops.
