Israel imposes a military lockdown on the West Bank and will shut every land crossing for Tuesday's election
Benjamin Netanyahu faces a deadlocked election on 27 October, with Arab parties holding enough seats to hand the opposition a majority if it joins forces with them.
Palestinian workers are barred from entering most Israeli settlements from today, and from Tuesday they will be banned from moving in or out of the West Bank altogether. The crackdown follows Friday's checkpoint attack, in which two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers. Defence Minister Israel Katz said about 2,000 Hebron residents have been displaced. Bulldozers have flattened at least one entire street.
Hebron mayor Youssef al-Jaabari believes the army plans to displace 2,500 people.
Activist Issa Amro: 'Our suffering is being turned into political material' for the election.
Benjamin Netanyahu trails Gadi Eisenkot 49% to 41% in one poll ahead of the vote.
