Benjamin Netanyahu faces battle for wavering voters in traditional strongholds
SUMMARY
By Emily Rose and Maayan Lubell DIMONA, Oct 25 (Reuters) - In the remote Negev Desert town of Dimona, long a bastion of Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, disenchanted voters are going door-to-door campaigning for his top rival, hoping to bring down the veteran prime minister in Israel's election on Tuesday. The ballot is Israel's first since Hamas' October 7, 2023, surprise attack that shook the country and plunged the region into turmoil, as Israel went to war on the militant group in Gaza and its allies in Lebanon and Iran.
