A Palestinian teenager who was filmed assaulting an Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank has been freed after eight months in jail.
Video showing Ahed Tamimi slapping and kicking the soldier outside her home in Nabi Saleh last year went viral.
For Palestinians, she became a symbol of resistance to Israeli occupation, but many Israelis see her as a publicity-seeking troublemaker.
The 17-year-old was mobbed by well-wishers as she returned to her town.
"Resistance is continuing until the occupation is removed," she told the crowd.
Speaking to the media later, she said she had resolved "to study law and to focus on holding the occupation accountable".
Sixteen at the time, she was originally charged with 12 counts of assault, incitement, interference with soldiers and stone throwing.
In March, she agreed to plead guilty to four of the charges, including incitement and assault.
The day before Ahed Tamimi was released, two Italians were arrested for drawing a 4m (13ft) mural of the teenager's face on the wall that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem.
Israeli border police said the two Italian men, and a Palestinian who was also arrested, were suspected of "damaging and vandalising the security fence in the Bethlehem area".
The group then allegedly tried to flee when confronted by police.
Last Wednesday, one of the men identified himself as Italian street artist Jorit Agoch. He posted an appeal for help on his Instagram page on Saturday, saying he had been arrested.
How did the incident go viral? Ahed Tamimi was filmed by her mother, Nariman, shouting at and shoving two soldiers in the driveway of her family home on 15 December 2017.
The incident was streamed on Nariman Tamimi's Facebook page and video of the confrontation was widely viewed.

Muzzies love to hide behind women and children and libtards for for it. Every time.
She’s a terrorist.
Just shoot her.
She better cover that Hair or her own side will shoot her
Someone get her a Rachel Corrie scholarship.
Obama would have her over for a few Medals
She can end up like Saint Pancake as well for all I care.
The Israelis have become reluctant to meet out the punishments deserved by troublemakers. I recall their releasing about a hundred hardened terrorists just to free a single Israeli prisoner. It gains them no friends and communicates a lack of belief in their cause.
I am of the opinion that the appropriate response would have been a but stroke to the face.
“Shirley Temper”, as they called her, can’t use being underage as a Get Out of jail Free Card anymore.
She will probably start accumulating a string of convictions and prison sentences, unless she marries someone not involved in activism (unlikely) and settles down. They should keep a tap on her phone, and monitor her movements.
It would be hilarious if she ended up in a Burqa with a gaggle of kids.
She’s in my 2019 dead pool/broken nose pool.
Her “girl card” has expired and she will no longer be that annoying little $hi+. She will become that pain in the @$$ B!+(H.
She does hail from an activist family so it would not surprise me.
Age and sex does not matter, remove her from the gene pool next time.
You never stop a terrorist by putting them in jail or prison. Death is the only cure for terrorism.
what a shame her parents ruined probably her entire life
putting such lies in her sweet little head
Verily, Islam is Satanic
