Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr marking end of Ramadan as Israel closes Jerusalem holy sites

Muslims worldwide are celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. However, Israel has decided to close all holy sites in Jerusalem due to the ongoing war. The closure affects access to sacred locations that are typically central to religious observances during this important Islamic holiday, which traditionally involves prayers, family gatherings, and charitable giving to mark the conclusion of the month-long fasting period.
