- Arab residents in Lod came to inspect the graves of their relatives, which were allegedly vandalised by Jewish right-wing protesters, on Friday, amid nights of intercommunal violence in the city. Several smashed grave stones could be seen as well as litter left in the Muslim cemetery. In addition burnt vehicles were piled at the road side, after being set alight during recent riots between Jewish and Arab residents, as well as police. Local Arab resident Jamal said, "they entered the Muslim cemetery last night and started to vandalise it, they tried to burn two mosques and did not succeed. They attempted to burn five or six houses in Lod."

- Description
- Muslim worshippers continued gathering in limited numbers at the Great Mosque of Mecca on the second day of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The attendees were seen performing a so-called 'Tawaf', meaning 'circumambulation' in Arabic. Circumambulation is the act of moving around a sacred object or idol. The move together around Kaaba symbolises the belief in their God, Allah.
Ramadan, considered to be one of the most sacred months in the Islamic calendar, is believed to be the period when God revealed the first verses of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset every day of the month.

- Over two million Hindu worshippers headed to the banks of the Ganges River as they gathered for the first day of the Kumbh Mela festival, in Haridwar on Monday, despite a soaring number of cases of COVID-19.
Worshippers could be seen performing different rituals, many of which entailed dipping in the river which they hold to be sacred. Ash-smeared and dreadlocked Naga sadhus, holy men also took part, plunging into the river.
According to officials it was difficult to impose safety precautions including social distancing or wearing masks, due to the large number of crowds.
Saritha, a devotee from Ahmedabad said, "We are not worried about the pandemic. The arrangements are really good and we are enjoying and feeling blessed. The event is going on successfully."
