The Israeli military has ordered the closure of all land border points between Israel and the occupied West Bank during Tuesday's upcoming election. The measure follows a deadly shooting attack in the city of Hebron earlier in the week that resulted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers at the hands of Palestinian gunmen.

The decision to shut the crossings forms part of a broader security clampdown implemented by Israeli authorities across the occupied West Bank in the wake of the incident.
