I read it three times and somehow I couldn’t understand it.
The way it reads, Amira is “the daughter of an officer and wife of a prisoner”. But she’s the daughter of both, presumably.

It is indeed completely ambiguous!

Used to be that newspapers had proofreaders and editors to clean this sort of thing up, but it is hard to edit your own work and editors are few nowadays, so expect more of this.

Amira has two parents

Father is Israeli officer
Mother is the wife of the prisoner.
