Jerusalem: Muslim worshippers perform Eid prayer at Al-Aqsa mosque
Thousands of Muslim worshippers attend the Eid al-Adha prayers outside the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. According to Muslim tradition, Eid al-Adha commemorates the sacrifice Ibrahim (known to Christians and Jews as Abraham) was about to make by killing his son, before the angel Gabriel intervened and offered him a sheep to sacrifice instead.
