Israel denied committing any atrocities and blamed the Palestinians' defensive strategy for the damage and civilian casualties. "A refugee camp is where there are people who are living with a humanitarian crisis," said Colonel Gal Hirsch, the Israeli army's chief of operations.

Kelly worked for better directors - Busby Berkeley on "For Me and My Gal" and "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," Vincente Minnelli on "An American in Paris" and "Brigadoon" - but, as co-director of two of his best films, he could take a measure of credit for their success, even as Astaire, who was "only" the star and choreographer, could avoid blame...
