In Defiance: Gaza Celebrates Eid Despite The Ruins

Thousands of people perform Eid Al Adha prayers in the north of Gaza despite the Israeli war of starvation and genocide.

And despite the mass debris, there is a deep-seated feelings among Palestinians that life must go on and the meek shall inherit the earth. Here as well, its a question of justice. This land is Palestinian, Muslim and Arab, not to be taken by Zionist invaders.

The Eid festivities are being celebrated all over the Gaza Strip, in towns, cities, villages, displacement centers. Its celebration amongst the rubble as a show of defiance that Gazans, Palestinians are here to stay.

In the case of the now destroyed Al Omari mosque  Eid prayers where held among the ruins induced through Israeli bombing and destruction.

Besides prayers there is celebration. Children in the courtyard of the Al Aqsa Martyers Hospital in Dier Al Balah enjoy the festive season of sacrifice.

Get a hair-cut  

Palestinian children get a haircut in a displacement center for the celebration of Eid.

And finally children creating their own happiness

    For the 237th consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the fragile ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

    They are committing further attacks and violations across the besieged territory since the ceasefire that was signed on 10 October, 2025.

    Since dawn, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces committed 10 new violations of the so-called “Gaza truce,” including artillery shelling, gunfire, and the demolition of homes and civilian infrastructure, particularly in the eastern areas of Khan Younis.

    Eight demolition operations targeting civilian homes were carried out in that area as Khan Younis lies in the southern Gaza Strip. The occupation forces also shelled these areas multiple times.

    The occupation forces also targeted the eastern part of Gaza City with artillery fire. Meanwhile, a correspondent for Sanad News Agency said that gunfire and artillery shelling from occupation vehicles, coinciding with the dropping of bombs from “quadcopter” warplanes, targeted the homes of residents east of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
