District Governor Ghannam conveyed her blessings to all of the praiseworthy female prisoners and the child prisoners by saying that they are writing the most spectacular stories of heroism in the face of the occupation's cruelty. She called on the international institutions and the human rights organizations to put pressure on the occupation in order to put an end to their suffering given the difficult conditions and the deliberate medical neglect being carried out against them. It should be noted that the occupation army arrested the child Muhammad Tamimi, Ahed's brother, this morning [April 8, 2019] at the family's home in Nabi Saleh.

Ahed Tamimi – Female Palestinian teenager who assaulted Israeli soldiers on Dec. 15, 2017, and promoted suicide bombings in a filmed message immediately afterwards. After serving 8 months in prison, she met with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on July 29, 2018, who called her "a role model for the Palestinian struggle." Tamimi was arrested again on Nov. 6, 2023, after writing the following incitement on her Instagram Story on Oct. 29, 2023, during Hamas' terror war on Israel: "Our message to the settler herds... We will slaughter you and you will say that what Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls. Go on, we’re waiting for you."
