Palestinians in Gaza are facing a challenging Eid Al-Adha as Israeli military attacks continue, casting a shadow over the traditional celebrations. In the stifling heat and amidst bombed-out mosques, Gazans marked the start of the holiday, devoid of its usual joy and cheer. Reports of ongoing explosions and restrictions on Al-Aqsa Mosque have added to the somber atmosphere, highlighting the struggles faced by the Palestinian community during this festive period. Meanwhile, in a contrasting scene, Croke Park in Ireland hosted a vibrant celebration of Eid Al-Adha, led by Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri, bringing together the Irish Muslim community in a moment of unity and peace.
