An Israeli soldier who took part in the killing of numerous Palestinian civilians and the destruction of their homes at the Jenin Refugee camp has boasted about what he did saying, ' I didn't give a chance to anyone.'

The soldier, a bulldozer driver identified as Moshe Nissim who is slated to receive a medal of honor from the Israeli army for his bravery in the camp, said he did 'more, much more, than what I was instructed to do.'

'No one refused an order to take down a house. When they told me to destroy a house, I exploited that in order to destroy a few more homes. On the loudspeaker, the Palestinian civilians were warned to get out before I came in. But I didn't give a chance to anyone. I didn't wait.'

The war criminal went on: ' I'm sure that people died inside of those houses. From my perspective, we left them a football field, they should play there, that was our present to the camp. Jenin will not return to be what it was.'

Nissim's incriminating words were published in the Israeli paper, Yediot Aharanot.
