Israel imposes a military lockdown on the West Bank and will close all land crossings 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.
From Sunday, Palestinian workers are barred from most Israeli settlements, and a total entry and exit ban follows on polling day. Defence Minister Israel Katz said about 2,000 Hebron residents have been displaced by bulldozers. Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the operation after two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint on Friday. All 250,000 people in Hebron remain sealed in.
Hebron officials say 86 acres have been destroyed or marked for demolition in Ein Deir Baha.
Netanyahu vowed his forces would 'go house to house' and destroy the gunmen's neighbourhoods.
Polls show Gadi Eisenkot leading Netanyahu 49% to 41% days before the vote.
