RAMADAN PRAYERS
Muslim Palestinian girls raise their hands in front of the Dome of the Rock mosque in Old Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound before the start of the first Friday prayer of the holy month of Ramadan. Tens of thousands of Muslims prayed in the compound, considered Islam's third holiest shrine, on the first day of the fasting month, during which Muslims abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex in daylight hours.
