While 13 Israeli soldiers died there and others were wounded in a well-planned trap Tuesday, unconfirmed reports suggest there may be more than 100 Palestinian casualties. The actual number is unknown because Israeli forces will not let journalists into the town. Palestinian leaders allege there is a massacre taking place in Jenin, where fighting has been fierce for a week. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel said the streets of the camp are littered with dozens of bodies. The army is keen to display guns it has seized and materials used to make terrorists' bombs, but is not so forthcoming with material that puts the Israelis in a bad light. Despite the Israeli deaths in Jenin, the campaign in the West Bank will continue as planned, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said. A building collapsed on top of the soldiers after a booby trap went off. Soldiers destroyed other buildings they said were booby-trapped. The incident was the deadliest attack on Israeli soldiers since the uprising began 18 months ago, and more than doubles the number of deaths so far in the West Bank invasion. Sharon made a televised statement on Tuesday in which he repeated his message that the army would continue its campaign against militants. "This is a battle for the survival of the Jewish people, for survival of the state of Israel," he said. The army began pulling out of two West Bank towns, Tulkarem and Qalqilya, earlier on Tuesday but also launched a new offensive further south in Hebron and Dura. Palestinians dismissed the withdrawals as a sham. ____________________ Copyright © 2002 CBC All Rights Reserved http://cbc.ca/ ===== Lake Merritt Neighbors Organized for Peace.
