Jerusalem, MINA – Welcoming the holy month of Ramadan, Jerusalem’s Old City residents decorate the city with decorative lights and other decorations.

As quoted from Al-Quds Al-Arabi, youths in the Jerusalem neighborhood are competing with each other to make the most beautiful decorations around their homes, including in the courtyard of the Aqsa Mosque.

They are not particularly interested in the security assessments of political leaders.

“We want to know how we can make this city the best in this month of Ramadan,” said the resident.
