IDF says only 45 Palestinians killed in Jenin refugee camp battles By Ha'aretz Staff According to the IDF estimates, 45 Palestinians were killed in ten days of fierce battles in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. This is significantly lower than earlier estimates according to which 150 to 200 Palestinians were killed. According to the army, the total number of Palestinians killed during "Operation Defense Shield" is 188 - 45 from Jenin, 104 in Ramallah and Nablus, five in Qalqilyah and Tul Karm, 28 in Bethlehem and Hebron and six in Tamon, Tubas and Taisir. Twenty-nine Israeli soldiers were killed during the operation. Senior defense ministry officials believe that the IDF made a serious error by releasing estimates too early on a supposedly high number of dead Palestinians in Jenin. These announcements caused damage to Israel's image abroad and served "Palestinian propaganda of the alleged massacre that took place in the camp." One source singled out IDF Spokesman Ron Kitrey as being responsible. The number of Palestinians injured in the operation is estimated at 599(total), 277 of which were in Jenin, while 125 Israeli soldiers were wounded.
