Have you seen the aerial photos of Jenin which show less than 10% of Jenin destroyed or heavily damaged? I saw them on another trhead but lost track.

The media keeps showing the same few blocks of Jenin, the same 100 houses from every angle, telling the world that all of Jenin has been flattened, which is an out and out lie. 10% was wrecked in heavy fighting, 70% is completely untouched and life is going on normally (for a war zone).

Jenin refugee camp is just part of larger Jenin. And the most lawless part where Jihadists were spawned..

They used used bulldozers to widen narrow streets that are good for sniping. Bulldozers were also used to shovel up and detonate anti tank mines. I would like to here more about the IDF bulldozers taking out these mines

The area so TOTALLY wrecked, is so because it was booby trapped to hell by the Pallies themselves. If they were planning to go back to their homes, why did they tie them all up with explosives primed to explode?

If Israelis had then NOT detonated these, the Pallies had instructions to say that the Israelis had left the homes boody trapped.
