The Road to Jenin, documentary broadcast on Israeli television, is third provocative film about combat between Palestinian militants and Israeli Army year ago in Jenin, in West Bank, which saw most intense battle of current Mideast conflict; latest work, by French-Israeli filmmaker Pierre Rehov, is strongly pro-Israeli account that portrays Israeli soldiers as humane warriors who track down terrorists and try to spare civilians, while Palestinians possess single-minded commitment to war; earlier documentary called Jenin, Jenin, by prominent Arab Israeli actor Muhammad Bakri, presents Jenin residents giving tearful accounts of fighting, with repeated accusations of Israeli abuses; film was shown few times before country's Censorship Board banned it; Bakri then sought to block showing of The Road to Jenin on grounds it is one-sided Israeli account, but Israel's high court ruled it could air; photo; map (M)
