Israel on Friday released Nour Tamimi, a Palestinian woman, on bail following her arrest on December 20.

Tamimi, 21, was released early on Friday from a military prison after a court rejected the prosecution's appeal against her release.

Tamimi was arrested a day after her cousin Ahed Tamimi, 16, was detained in the wake of a viral video showing them slapping an Israeli soldier the previous week.

The incident that led to the charges occurred in the yard of their home in Nabi Saleh, near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Ahed and her mother Nariman Tamimi remain in custody.

Nour was allowed to return to her home in Nabi Saleh  after posting a bail of 5,000 shekels ($1,550).

A guarantor vouched that she would show up for her court proceedings, set to begin on February 12.

The military appeals court ruled Nour would also have to sign in at an Israeli police station every Friday at noon.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Lebanon's Hezbollah to exercise caution on Friday, saying Israel's patience with "terrorists" who threaten it had worn thin.

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Thursday that the Lebanese group would act as it saw fit in the face of what he called "brutal Israeli-American aggression" against Iran.

In other statements, the group has made no explicit pledge to join the fighting. But it has condemned Israel’s surprise strikes on Iran that sparked the conflict and endorsed Iran’s missile barrages over Israel.

"I suggest the Lebanese proxy be cautious and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it,” Katz said in a statement on Friday, adding that "if there is terrorism -- there will be no Hezbollah."

Qassem “is not learning a lesson from his predecessors and is threatening to act against Israel in accordance with the Iranian dictator's orders,” Katz stated.

He said on Thursday that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, “cannot continue to exist.”
