Saudi Arabia - Muslim pilgrims hurl stones during 'stoning of the devil' ritual
Pilgrims leave Muzdalifah for Mina before dawn to perform the first rami, throwing seven pebbles at the largest of three columns, Jamarat al-Aqaba. This act symbolises the stoning of the devil, based on the tradition where Abraham threw stones to repel Satan.
sweltering temperatures, Muslim pilgrims in Mecca converged on a vast tent camp in the desert on Friday, officially opening the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Ahead of their trip, they circled the cube-shaped Kaaba in the Grand Mosque, Islam’s holiest site.
More than 1.5 million pilgrims from around the world have already amassed in and around Mecca for the Hajj, and the number is still growing as more pilgrims from inside Saudi Arabia joined. Saudi authorities expected the number of pilgrims to exceed 2 million this year.

This year’s Hajj came against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, when thousands of terrorists poured into southern Israel.
