Israel set to remove Jenin bodies

The Israeli military has begun a mission to remove the bodies of dead Palestinians from Jenin refugee camp, overseen by the International Committe for the Red Cross.

The Red Cross hopes to bring in humanitarian aid

The Israeli High Court on Sunday rejected an attempt to stop the military from taking away the corpses of those killed in the heavy fighting at the camp last week.

But it did stipulate that the Red Cross should oversee the collection and that the bodies should be released to the Palestinian Authority.

Palestinians had earlier alleged that the army was already secretly burying the dead to conceal evidence of a massacre.
