Netanyahu has campaigned heavily on his security credentials, but Eisenkot has cast him as unfit to lead and pledged a state commission of inquiry into the failings that led to Hamas's Oct 7, 2023 attack under the incumbent's watch.
Polls had showed Netanyahu and Eisenkot running neck and neck before a ban on new polling took effect in the three days before Tuesday's vote.
