Polls open across Israel for runoff municipal elections
In the shadow of heavy fighting around the Gaza Strip, polls open in 54 towns and councils across Israel for the runoff election of local leadership.
The vote is a follow-up to the October 30 polls, in areas where no single candidate received 40% of the vote.
The most closely watched race is in Jerusalem, where Moshe Lion is battling Ofer Berkovitch to become mayor of the capital.
Due to the persistent rocket fire, the vote for the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council has been postponed.
The polling stations will remain open until 10 p.m. with the results expected to trickle out overnight.
