Ankara (IINA) – Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the violation of the Israeli police and settlers on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
"The actions of Israeli police are unacceptable as they caused a state of anger in the minds of all Muslims and increased the state of tension in the region," the ministry said in a statement, calling on Israel to put an end to such illegal actions against Al-Aqsa Mosque as soon as possible.
Director of Al-Aqsa Mosque Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani explained that the Israeli Minister of Agriculture participated in the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque with about 120 settlers, and that the incursion was carried out in batches, under the protection of the Israeli police.
The guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque had stood on Sunday against an attempt of Israeli settlers to break into the Mosque on the anniversary of the so-called  "destruction of the Temple", triggering clashes in which dozens of Al-Aqsa guards and Palestinian worshipers sustained injuries with rubber bullets, and cases of suffocation due to teargas.
