Lahore: On the first day of Eid ul Adha, Palestinians gathered at the Al-Aqsa compound in occupied East Jerusalem and offered prayer on Sunday amid tight restrictions from Israeli authorities.

Some of the worshippers were reportedly assaulted by Israeli military. However, the Muslim families arrived at the compound and celebrated Eid with their kids, Al Jazeera reported.

On the other hand, the Israeli army announced Sunday that it would implement a daily "tactical pause of military activity" in part of the southern Gaza Strip during daylight hours to facilitate the delivery of aid.

The army said in a statement that "a local, tactical pause of military activity for humanitarian purposes will take place from 08:00 until 19:00 every day until further notice along the road that leads from the Kerem Shalom Crossing to the Salah al-Din Road and then northwards".

The decision was taken as part of efforts to "increase the volumes of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip" following discussions with the UN and other organisations, it said.
