As the Muslim world marks the start of Eid al-Adha, one of the two major Islamic holidays, media outlets in Gaza publish footage of hundreds of Palestinians performing the holiday prayers amid the ruins of homes and mosques, or in displaced persons camps across the enclave.

In Jerusalem, meanwhile, thousands of people are recorded performing the holiday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
