Dima Al-Wawi pleaded guilty in February to attempting to stab an Israeli soldier.
“I was dreaming that I was going to be martyred,” she told the Times. The newspaper also cited her as saying she "had been influenced by other young Palestinians who stabbed or tried to stab Israeli soldiers and civilians."
Dima also told the Times that she'd been "yelled at during her interrogation and attended six court sessions with her feet in shackles, causing her to develop a limp. Prison itself, she said, was fine because she was allowed to play with other incarcerated girls."
While Israeli youth under 14 can't be given prison sentences under civil law, military law allows for Palestinian children as young as twelve to be placed in jail.
