The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) at noontime on Sunday released the youngest Palestinian detainee Dima al-Wawi, 12, after two months and a half in jail.

Dima al-Wawi was released at the Jabara military checkpoint in Tulkarem, in the northern occupied West Bank, where she was received by her family and dozens of Palestinian citizens.

Al-Wawi was also received by the head of the prisoners’ and ex-prisoners’ committee, Issa Qaraqe, and Tulkarem Mayor Essam Abu Bakr.

12-year-old Dima al-Wawi, a native of al-Khalil’s northern town of Halhul, was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on February 9 on her way to school. She was accused of holding a knife and attempting to carry out an anti-occupation stabbing against Israeli soldiers.

An Israeli court sentenced the child to four months in jail and a fine of 2,500 U.S. dollars.
