More Accolades for Young Palestinian Media Star
A'hd Tamimi, the young Palestinian girl from Nabi Saleh who has repeatedly been featured in mainstream media photographs confronting Israeli soldiers, and who has been awarded by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for her "bravery," receives additional encouragement. According to Istanbul Today's Zaman:
Palestinian Ahed Tamimi, a girl who challenged Israeli soldiers as they arrested her brother, was presented with the Handala Courage Award in İstanbul on Wednesday.
Visiting Turkey as the guest of İstanbul's Başakşehir Municipality, 13-year-old Tamimi attended a series of events ahead of the award ceremony including the opening of an art exhibition titled “Being Children in Palestine.�?
Here is A'hd in her some of her most memorable moments:

She does not look like Arab, more like Russian, as well as the rest of the kids. Probably a daughter of a Russian woman and Arab father, as there are many Russian women in Gaza and in the West Bank. What business she has there?

yes, she is an Arab Palestinian. Where her family came from is rather moot, given that she claims she is Arab, and they come from Arabia.
