Army to impose election day closure on West Bank, Gaza

The Israeli military announces it will be shutting down all crossings out of the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Tuesday for the Israeli national elections.

The Israel Defense Forces says the closure will begin at midnight on Monday and last through midnight Tuesday.

Exceptions will be made for humanitarian cases, namely the passage of medical patients to Israeli hospitals, the army says.
