Palestinians in the Gaza Strip performed Taraweeh prayers on Tuesday evening, marking the first night of Ramadan, on the ruins of destroyed mosques and in makeshift prayer spaces set up inside tents made of nylon and wood. The prayers were held amid the vast destruction left by what Palestinians describe as genocide committed by Israel.
On Tuesday evening, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories and head of the Supreme Fatwa Council, Mohammed Hussein, announced that Wednesday would be the first day of the holy month of Ramadan for the year 1447 AH.
