> Israel’s military says all West Bank land crossings will close on Tuesday, the day of Israel’s election, and Palestinian workers will be barred from entering settlements. The restrictions come as a crackdown intensifies after Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers in a checkpoint attack. Hundreds of families have been displaced in Hebron.
