More on Jenin - here's an interview with one of the Palestinian terrorists who was involved in the fight. I for one, no longer doubt that the IDF (most of whom are reservists) faced an enemy of exteme viciousness. Here's the guys answer when asked about the ambush that killed 13 soldiers:-

"They were lured there," he says. "We all stopped shooting and the women went out to tell the soldiers that we had run out of bullets and were leaving." The women alerted the fighters as the soldiers reached the booby- trapped area.

"When the senior officers realised what had happened, they shouted through megaphones that they wanted an immediate cease-fire. We let them approach to retrieve the men and then opened fire.

"Some of the soldiers were so shocked and frightened that they mistakenly ran towards us."
