Israeli border police on Saturday arrested two Italian graffiti artists who painted a mural of imprisoned Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi on the Israeli separation fence in Bethlehem, West Bank, according to Palestinian officials.
Tamimi, now 17, was sent to prison for badault after being filmed kicking and slapping an Israeli soldier last year while she was 16 years old. She must be released Sunday.
Tamimi became a heroine for the Palestinians after the December 15 incident in front of her house in the village of Nabi Saleh was broadcast live on Facebook by her mother and has become viral.
A spokesman for the Israeli police did not return a call for comment.
