The title is correct but not the truth.
While Palestinians DID participate in attacks, assassinations attempts, and what was in essence a movement to seize control of parts of a country from within- there were Jordanians on both sides of the conflict and it cannot be painted strictly as Palestinians vs. Jordanians or refugees vs. Hosts.
The exact politics are a bit complex, they often are in the region, and most attempts to simplify them reveal the bias of the person summarizing.
The implicated party was not “Palestinian refugees” but the PLA, Palestinian Liberation Army. As is often the case in such conflicts and the region historically, the PLO/PLA contains “civilian” figures like refugees or those posing as, as well as operating from positions that use civilians as “human shields” and blur the lines
between who is civilian or not. Civilians sympathetic to the cause often help, and you have civilians unknowingly helping by doing things like passing information, administering business or logistics, procurement and commerce etc. and civilians who aren’t sympathetic to the cause but may have family or other interests tied in so may offer various aid like trying to protect loved ones by hiding them or materials that might incriminate them.
