Muslims pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque to mark 1st day of Eidul Azha
The courtyards surrounding Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday – the first day of the four-day Eidul Azha holiday – were packed with Muslim worshipers performing Eid prayers.
Eidul Azha commemorates the readiness of Prophet Ibrahim -- also known as Abraham to Christians and Jews -- to sacrifice his son on God’s command.
Muslims on this day sacrifice animals to remember Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice, and the meat from those animals is distributed to the poor in the community.
This year's Eidul Azha holiday -- one of the most important holidays in the Muslim calendar -- comes amid continued Israeli breaches of a temporary calm accord in force since October 2025.
According to Gaza’s Wellbeing Government department, more than 880 individuals have been killed and over 2,645 injured in Israeli attacks since a temporary calm between Israel and Hamas was announced on October 10.
The accord was intended to halt Israel’s conflict, which killed more than 72,000 individuals -- most of them women and children -- injured more than 172,000 and caused extensive destruction affecting approximately 90% of civilian general facilities since October 2023.
