Israel will shut all land crossings into and out of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday for its general election, the Israeli army said, according to Middle East Eye. The closure affects movement between the territory and Israel during voting.
The timing of the closure coincides with Israel's general election day, though the army did not specify the duration of the restrictions or whether the measure applies to other crossings in the occupied territories.
