BBC's Anjana Gadgil asks if 'Israeli forces are happy to kill children'?

A BBC spokesman said: 'BBC News has received comments and complaints concerning an interview with Naftali Bennett broadcast on the BBC News channel about recent events in the West Bank and Israel.

'The complaints raised relate to specific interview questions about the deaths of young people in the Jenin refugee camp. Across the BBC’s platforms - including our news channel - these events have been covered in an impartial and robust way. 

'The United Nations raised the issue of the impact of the operation in Jenin on children and young people. While this was a legitimate subject to examine in the interview, we apologise that the language used in this line of questioning was not phrased well and was inappropriate.'

On Monday, Israel launched what appeared to be a major military operation in the West bank, deploying hundreds of troops into Palestinian territory and conducting drone strikes on what it said were militant strongholds in and around Jenin.

At least 12 Palestinians were killed in the strikes 100 injured, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

'There is bombing from the air and an invasion from the ground,' Mahmoud al-Saadi, director of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, told AFP.

'Several houses and sites have been bombed... smoke is rising from everywhere.'

The extensive raid, which Israel claims is focused on a military stronghold in Jenin, was launched under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government and has employed armoured vehicles, army bulldozers and drone strikes.

In the city's refugee camp - an urban community that was home to 18,000 people - multiple streets were ripped up.

The raid left ]broken electricity cables, oil, and pools of water apparently after an Israeli anti-bomb bulldozer passed.

The incursion resembles the wide-scale deployments carried out during the second Palestinian uprising two decades ago, was described as an 'extensive counterterrorism effort' by Netanyahu's office.
