NABI SALEH – On the eve of Ahed Tamimi's release from prison, the provocative Palestinian teenager said Saturday that he is expecting a lead in the struggle against Israel but that the 17-year-old is also weighing college options.
In Tamimi's village of Nabi Saleh, supporters prepared for Sunday's homecoming, planting Palestinian flags on the roof of the family home and setting up for the courthouse.

after Ahed slapped two IDF soldiers
outside the family home and Nariman filmed the incident and posted it on Facebook. Both are to be released Sunday.

Ahed's father Bbadem said Saturday that after her release from prison, "we expect her to lead and we will support her to lead "in the fight to end the" occupation. " He did not say what this would entail.
Bbadem Tamimi said that his daughter completed his high school exams in prison, with the help of other prisoners who taught the required material. He said he hoped to attend a West Bank university.
Ahed was 16 when she was arrested and turned 17 in custody. Her case has been trained on the subject of Palestinian detention by Israel, a practice that has been criticized by international rights groups. Some 300 are currently being held, according to Palestinian figures.
