Palestinians in Gaza are marking Eid al-Fitr, the celebration that follows the fasting month of Ramadan, under the shadow of six months of war and a growing humanitarian crisis. People prayed alongside the rubble of mosques and buildings, while a doctor in Rafah told The Washington Post: “This is a sad Eid in Gaza; you can see it in everyone’s eyes.” Later Wednesday, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political bureau, said that three of his sons had been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the strike, and said Haniyeh’s sons were “military operatives.”
