An Iranian missile struck Jerusalem on Eid al-Fitr, landing just a few hundred metres from the Al-Aqsa mosque, as hundreds of Muslim worshippers were forced to hold their Eid prayers outside the locked gates of the Old City, barred from entering for the first time in nearly 60 years. Israel said on Saturday that an Iranian missile had struck Jerusalem during Eid al-Fitr celebrations, just metres away from some of the holiest sites in the world for Muslims, Christians and Jews alike.
