Srinagar's Masjid Witness No Prayer On Third Friday Amid Israel-Hamas War

Srinagar's Jamia Masjid is yet to allow Friday prayers. The historic mosque barred namaz for the third consecutive Friday on October 27 as fear of protests and subsequent violence over Israel's military action in Gaza persisted.
