Ugly war. Children of vengeance

Description

Death is now the Palestinians' most potent weapon. They don't have tanks, helicopters or a professional army - all they have is young men willing to be martyred, and the element of surprise. Gaining rare access to the Palestinian militias, Correspondent focuses on the nexus of 'terrorist' street fighters in three West Bank towns and visits a bomb-making factory hidden in the Jenin refugee camp where 'suicide belts' and explosives are made. Aren't the militants worried about Israeli intelligence? 'Don't make me laugh!' says one. 'While Jenin was under siege, individuals in Jenin were carying out martyrdom operations inside Israel.'
