Israelis have begun voting in the country's third general election in less than twelve months, in the hoping of breaking the deadlock in the Knesset.
Neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc nor its centrist rival led by Benny Gantz emerged with a governing majority following elections in April and September last year.
Israel has never held multiple elections in such quick succession.
But analysts have speculated that yet another election may have to be held in September, as the final opinion polls indicated Mr Netanyahu's Likud party had not shed significant levels of support since last year.
