A human rights watchdog said on Friday it had found no evidence to back charges that hundreds of Palestinians were massacred at the Jenin refugee camp, but said the Israeli army may have committed war crimes there. Human Rights Watch said in a report it had identified 52 Palestinians who were killed during eight days of fierce house-to-house fighting in the West Bank camp last month, of whom 22 were civilians. "Many of the civilians were killed willfully or unlawfully," it said. "Human Rights Watch also found that the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) used Palestinian civilians as human shields and used indiscriminate and excessive force during the operation." "Human Rights Watch did not find evidence to support claims that the IDF massacred hundreds of Palestinians in the camp."
