In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, the bombardment that began on October 7 has reached its 27th day. Indiscriminate Israeli attacks have impacted various civilian shelters, including schools, hospitals, churches, and mosques. Another school near the UN Palestine Refugees Relief Agency (UNRWA) in the Shati Refugee Camp, southwest of the Gaza Strip, was targeted this morning. This attack resulted in five Palestinian fatalities and numerous injuries, as the school had been providing refuge to displaced Palestinians.
Two new digital museums have opened in Mecca’s Haram Sharif, showcasing the life of Prophet Muhammad and the history of the Kaaba.
The Biography Museum, located in the Zamzam Tower, uses LED and hologram technology to present key aspects of the Prophet’s life, including his family, migration, teachings, and personal items. A model of his three-step sermon platform and city models of Mecca and Medina are also featured.
The second museum, near the Damascus Gate, focuses on the Kaaba. It displays parts of the Kiswah (Kaaba cover), perfume bottles, and tools used in its production. Digital screens offer historical information. Staff are available to answer visitors’ questions. Entry is free.
The Mecca Haram Region Promotion Authority is working to promote the museums to pilgrims and international media.
