Gazans observe Ramadan amid losses of imams in Israeli conflict

The arrival of Ramadan in the Gaza Strip is marked by the absence of hundreds of imams and Quran teachers killed during the Israeli war, which resulted in the destruction of 1,050 mosques. Residents are now forced to pray in makeshift tents or damaged buildings, mourning the loss of religious leaders who shaped their spiritual lives. The war has claimed over 72,000 Palestinian lives, causing extensive damage to infrastructure and targeting religious figures and sites, raising concerns about violations of international law.
