It is the final release of hostages and prisoners in the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire, which began last month.

The move came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a stop to the release of Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

The World Health Organization is deeply concerned about violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the impact of what it called "starkly rising" attacks on healthcare, its representative in the Palestinian territories said on Tuesday.

What Israel is calling "Operation Iron Wall" against Palestinian armed groups has triggered an exodus of around 40,000 people from four camps in the north of the occupied West Bank: Tulkarm, Nur Shams, Jenin and Far'a.

Israeli bulldozers have demolished large areas of the now virtually empty Jenin refugee camp and appear to be carving wide roadways through its once-crowded warren of alleyways, echoing tactics already employed in Gaza as troops prepare for a long-term stay.
