How do I apply the function to tweets dataframe?

Question

This function is for cleaning arabic tweets in dataframe pandas

def clean_tweets(s):
    s= s.replace("RT",'')
    r = re.compile(r"(?:^|\s)([@#h])(\w+)")
    s=re.sub(r,"",s)
    s = re.sub('[:/.…!"()]', '', s)
    s = re.sub('[a-zA-Z]', '', s)
    s = re.sub('[0-9]', '', s)
    return s

Dataframe contains just one column (Tweets)

Tweets
0 الجنائية" ترفض *- طلب...

Assuming tweets is a Series, you can do
