Lebanese Muslims faced a somber Eidul Fitr this year due to displacement caused by Israeli strikes and regional conflict.
The war began with US and Israeli attacks on Iran, drawing Lebanon into the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. Over 1,000 people have been killed, and more than a million displaced from their homes.
In Beirut’s downtown area, displaced families tried to shield themselves from rain while praying at the Mohammad al Amin Mosque. Samah Hjola, a mother of two, said her memories of past Eids felt like another lifetime.
Israeli jets broke the sound barrier over Beirut late Friday morning, causing panic among residents who feared new bombing raids.
In Sidon, displaced families visited graves and prayed, but many were unable to pay respects due to ongoing war. Suleiman Youssef noted a heaviness in people’s hearts as joy seemed incomplete.
The situation highlights the need for safety and stability in Lebanon, with hopes that the coming days will bring an end to the conflict.
