Washington - The United Nations is delaying its fact-finding mission to a Palestinian refugee camp because of Israeli objections to the make-up of the team. A three-man U.N. team was appointed to look at the damage in Jenin. Palestinians say it was a massacre. Israelis say they mainly killed terrorists.
In a huge pile of ruins, a man leaning on a cane tells Israeli reporter Amira Haas, "This is my home, and my son is inside." His son is dead, crushed by an Israeli bulldozer because he could not escape in his wheelchair. The family had shouted to the Israelis to stop, in vain.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Mohammed Abu Siba was shot by an Israeli sniper on his veranda. After the family wrapped his body in a rug, an Israeli bulldozer started demolishing the house. They fled, and when they returned, said a son, "We were able to get half of my father. The other half is still in there."
The Israeli incursion of the Jenin Palestinian refugee camp has aroused protest from Palestinians, media and human rights observers. Many say they have never seen anything like it.
Terje Roed-Larsen, U.N. representative in the region, called it a horrifying scene of human suffering. "The government of Israel has lost all moral ground in this conflict," he said.
