Israel has ordered its soldiers to prepare for a full closure of the West Bank following a deadly shooting in the occupied territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said security forces had been instructed to cordon off the city of Hebron immediately.
Mr Netanyahu, who is running for another term in elections on Tuesday, has called for all political meetings to be cancelled due to the attack.
"I salute the courage of our soldiers who acted with determination and prevented what could have been a major attack," he said in a statement.
"I have instructed the IDF and security forces to impose an immediate cordon on the city of Hebron and to prepare for a full lockdown of all of Judea and Samaria starting today."
