Three days before the Knesset elections, the latest mandate polls show an advantage for Gadi Eisenkot, while neither political bloc secures a majority. In Judea and Samaria, two IDF soldiers were killed in a shooting attack in the Hebron Hills, prompting security forces to launch a sweeping operation in the area.

Meanwhile, the United States is scaling back its diplomatic presence in the Middle East amid fears of a regional escalation, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing for the possibility of a banking boycott against Israel.
