A film showing the Israeli perspective on last year’s battle in the Jenin refugee camp aired on Israeli television Monday. “On the Way to Jenin,” shown Monday, was produced by a French Jewish film maker who goes by the pseudonym Pierre Rehov. Fifty-two Palestinians, most of them armed, and 23 Israeli troops were killed in fighting in Jenin that erupted as part of the widespread Israeli army operation against the terrorist infrastructure last April.
