Nearly 2M Pilgrims Continue Hajj Ritual on 1st Day of Eid al-Adha
Nearly two million Muslim pilgrims began the ritual of casting stones at the Jamarat pillars on Friday morning, marking the first day of Eid al-Adha and one of the key rituals of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mina, western Saudi Arabia. After completing the stoning of Jamarat Al-Aqaba, pilgrims continue with the other rites of Eid, including the ritual animal sacrifice marking the beginning of the four-day Eid al-Adha festival. Pilgrims will remain in Mina during the three days of Tashreeq (Saturday to Monday), continuing the stoning ritual. Saudi authorities announced on Thursday the successful movement of pilgrims to Mount Arafat, aided by advanced artificial intelligence systems. The six-day Hajj season began on Wednesday, and the final rituals will continue until Monday. The Saudi General Authority for Statistics announced that the number of Hajj pilgrims for the 1446 AH Islamic calendar year is 1,673,230, including 1,506,576 who arrived from outside the kingdom. The number of domestic pilgrims, Saudi citizens and residents, is 166,654. Last year, over 1.8 million Muslim pilgrims from 200 countries around the world performed the Hajj. The Hajj pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of the Islamic faith, a ritual that must be performed by all Muslims, if financially viable, at least once in their lives. The Hajj includes a number of rituals aimed at illustrating the fundamental concepts of Islam and commemorating the Prophet Abraham and his family's trials.

Devastated Lebanon village marks Eid among its dead
by Naharnet Newsdesk 01 April 2025, 09:57 In the war-devastated southern Lebanese village of Aitaroun, residents marked the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr among their dead. Relatives crowded the village's cemeteries to pray for the more than 100 residents, including fighters from Hezbollah, killed during the war between the militant group and Israel that ended with a fragile ceasefire in November. "We defied the entire world by being here in Aitaroun to celebrate Eid with our martyrs," Siham Ftouni said near the grave of her son, a rescuer with an Islamic health organization affiliated with Hezbollah. "Their blood permitted us to come back to our village," she said. During the war, Lebanese state media reported that Israeli troops used explosives in Aitaroun and two nearby villages to blow up houses. The town square is heavily damaged. Few people have returned to live or to reopen businesses. The story is the same in other villages in southern Lebanon. In Aitaroun, more than 90 of the village's dead -- including some who died from natural causes -- were buried only a month ago when Israeli troops pulled out. Under the ceasefire, Israel had 60 days to withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon, but it did not pull most of them back until February 18 after the initial deadline was extended. On Monday, beneath yellow Hezbollah flags, Ftouni and other women clad in black let their grief pour out. A young girl sat near the grave of a woman, holding her photo surrounded by flowers. Other pictures, of infants and young men in military uniform, lay on top of graves, and the sound of funeral orations triggered tears. Some visitors handed out sweets and other foods to mourners who came from further away. - 'Ashamed' - "This year, Eid is different from the years before," said Salim Sayyed, 60, a farmer originally from Aitaroun. "Aitaroun, which lost more than 120 martyrs including many women and children, is living a sad Eid." He added: "The will to live will remain stronger than death." The war saw the killing of Hezbollah's leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and other commanders, and the group's military infrastructure was devastated. More than a year of conflict eventually escalated to full-blown war and killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon. Despite the ceasefire deal, Israeli troops remain inside Lebanon at five points it deems strategic. Both Hezbollah and Israel have accused each other of truce violations. Israel has regularly carried out often-deadly air raids in south and east Lebanon since the ceasefire, striking what it says are Hezbollah military targets that violated the agreement. On Friday Israel bombed southern Beirut for the first time since the truce after rockets were fired towards its territory. Imad Hijazi, 55, a taxi driver, said the security uncertainty was no deterrent to those wanting to spend Eid beside the graves of their loved ones. "The sadness was immense. Everyone was shaken by the loss of loved ones. I lost 23 members of my family in an Israeli strike," Hijazi said. "I was ashamed to convey Eid greetings to my relatives or my friends."
