Israel will shut all land crossings into the occupied West Bank during its general election on Tuesday, according to Al Jazeera English. The closure coincides with an ongoing lockdown of Hebron, the largest city in the territory.
The decision restricts movement between Palestinian areas and Israeli territory on the election day, affecting commerce, employment, and civilian transit across the border.
