West Bank operation almost complete says Israel, as thousands flee

BBC LIVE Summary

Thousands of Palestinians have left Jenin refugee camp as Israel continues its major military operation in the occupied West Bank.

Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Palestinian militants in the camp on Monday.

On Tuesday, an Israeli adviser said the operation was "close to completing...the goals set".

The Israeli Defense Forces say they have arrested 120 suspects and have 10 more targets in the centre of the Jenin refugee camp.

The IDF also says it "neutralised" a shaft used to store explosives inside the camp, and "dismantled" two operational rooms used by "terrorist organisations".

Palestinian officials say 10 Palestinians have been killed and 100 others wounded.
