Friday prayers in Gaza coincide with ceasefire, ending two years of Israeli genocide

Friday prayers in Gaza coincided with the start of the ceasefire, following two years of Israeli genocide that devastated the Strip. Worshippers performed their prayers in the streets, amid neighborhoods reduced to rubble and mosques demolished at a rate of more than one per day since October 7, 2023. The scene reflects the resilience of a people who have endured ethnic cleansing, genocide, massive destruction, forced displacement, and immense loss.
