Dima al-Wawi (born November 20, 2003) was the youngest girl ever imprisoned by Israel,[2] having been sentenced to four months in jail at age 12 for attempted manslaughter after attempting to stab a security guard at the main entrance of Karmi Tzur. She was released six weeks early on April 24, 2016; following her release she said that she had intended to kill the security guard and had dreamed of being "martyred".[3]
