Palestinians gathered for morning prayers on the first day of the Eidul Fitr holiday amid the ruins of Gaza, which has been devastated by more than six months of Israeli cooperation since Hamas’s October 7 attacks, AFP reports.
Tens of thousands also flocked to Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque compound where one worshipper, nurse Rawan Abd, said: “It’s the saddest Eid ever… you could see the sadness on people’s faces.
“Usually we come to Al-Aqsa to celebrate, this year we came just to support each other,” the 32-year-old said at Islam’s third holiest site, which is also revered by Jews as the Temple Mount.
