National elections are taking place in Israel and the heads of the parties have voted. These are the first elections since the Hamas attack on October 7. Polls show close competition between Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and its right-wing allies, and a rival coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot, the former chief of the IDF General Staff. See Jamal Mousavi's report in Tel Aviv.
