“The pleasure of people when returning to the house of God is an extraordinary blessing,” he said.
The Gaza Ministry of Religious Affairs said worshipers were asked to wear face masks inside the mosque, which would be regularly disinfected as a preventative measure. Whereas children and sick people are not allowed to worship at this time.
In Gaza City, Khader Mussa said he was very happy to attend the dawn prayer but was also careful to protect his health.
“I got there just two minutes before the prayer began to avoid contact with other worshipers and then left in the end, without shaking hands with anyone,” the 40-year-old man said.
