Human Rights Watch: No massacre in Jenin camp
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff
IDF troops did not carry out a massacre in the Jenin refugee camp, the
international Human Rights Watch organization has announced following
it's investigation of the recent events.
According to the HRW report, Palestinian gunmen endangered the lives
of local residents by preparing and setting explosive devices inside
the refugee camp.
Armed Palestinians also utilized the camp area in order to plan terror
attacks, the report determined.
During interviews with Human Rights Watch researchers, local
Palestinian residents of the refugee camp did not claim IDF carried
out a massacre.
However, the report discussed cases of war crimes and human rights
violations on the part of IDF soldiers and requested Israel
investigate such incidents.
The organization's chief investigator told Israel Radio that Human
Rights Watch intends to publish a separate report on Palestinian
suicide attacks on Israeli civilian targets - a phenomenon that he
termed a crime against humanity.
The report will also investigate the involvement of sovereign nations
in the preparation and execution of Palestinian suicide attacks.
