Thousands of Palestinians have taken to the streets in the southern West Bank town of Hebron to protest against the postponement of local elections by the Palestinian Authority.
On Friday, speakers in mosques throughout the largest town in the West Bank denounced the Palestinian Authority (PA) decision, describing it as "an expression of dictatorship and despotism".
"No to dictatorship, no to robbing the people of Hebron of their right to elect their representatives," shouted thousands of people, many carrying the green banners of the Islamic movement, as they marched through the streets.
