Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a presidential decree setting Saturday, November 28, as the official date for holding general legislative elections.

The presidential decree issued calls on the Palestinian people in Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to actively participate in free and direct legislative elections to elect members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, based on the provisions of Resolution Law No. 1 of 2007 on General Elections and its amendments.

According to the decree, the goal is to consolidate the foundations of the democratic process and complete the institutional building, with the official indication that a later date will be set for the presidential elections scheduled to be held during the first quarter of next year.

Two Palestinians killed in Gaza

On the ground, the Israeli occupying forces continued their repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement in force in the Gaza Strip, by carrying out artillery and air force attacks and "Quad Capter" drones in various areas.

In the latest toll, medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex announced that two young men were killed when they were targeted by a missile from an Israeli drone west of the city of Khan Younis.

This coincided with shooting and artillery shelling that affected the Al-Sultan area in Beit Lahia in the north, the eastern areas of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza, and the southeastern areas of Al-Maghazi and Al-Bureij camps in the Central Governorate, one day after the Ministry of Health recorded the death of 10 people , including two children, in similar violations.

Targeting displaced people in Al-Mawasi

In this context, the media office in Gaza documented the continued destruction of the humanitarian infrastructure by monitoring more than 241 direct Israeli military targets in the Mawasi area, which the occupation claims is a "safe zone".

One of the most prominent of these attacks was the shelling of a shelter camp housing about 350 displaced families on June 29 , which caused the burning and tearing of more than 130 tents and the effects of the explosion stretched hundreds of meters, leaving hundreds of families homeless or basic necessities of life in light of the ongoing siege.

Raids on the West Bank

In terms of violations in the West Bank, the occupation forces carried out a campaign of raids and arrests on two villages west of Ramallah governorate at dawn on Thursday.

According to official security sources, the occupation forces raided the villages of Beit Sira and Kharbata Bani Harith, and the operation resulted in the arrest of 5 Palestinians after raiding and searching their homes, before the Israeli forces withdrew towards their nearby bases.
