Playing a harmless game of soldiers these Palestinian boys, who have daubed their faces with war paint and carry toy guns, provide a chilling echo of the violence that surrounds them.

And for these children living in a West Bank refugee camp their game could also be a glimpse of a bloody future that all too easily may lie ahead for them.

Jenin is a hotbed of terrorists, according to the Israelis who regularly raid the town and raze the homes of suspected gunmen to the ground.

And in recent years its residents have certainly carried out hundreds of horrific suicide bomb attacks beyond the wall that encircles the West Bank.

Anger and despair are everywhere in Jenin and these children enjoying the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Adha today will not be immune to the feelings many people share.
