Israel sealed the West Bank and tightened restrictions on Gaza as voting approached in its election campaign, Al Jazeera English reported. Israeli forces emptied parts of Hebron and intensified security measures across the occupied territory during the final days before polls opened.
The closures coincided with the conclusion of Israel's election campaign, marking an escalation in movement restrictions and military operations across Palestinian areas.
