A group of Israeli security forces and a number of Jewish settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem on Wednesday, according to Palestinian officials.
A Palestinian guard of the holy complex said Israeli security forces stormed into the compound's courtyards through Al-Magharbeh and Al-Silsila gates and began shooting randomly towards the worshippers and religious students, leaving scores injured.
- Speaking after a briefing at the Turkish intelligence agency MIT, Davutoglu stressed that the Israeli aggression must receive a "stern response," and said Turkey always stood by the Palestinians.
- "We strongly condemn that 35 people including a group of Israeli deputies forced their way into the Haram al-Sharif site, and the fact that Israeli police disregarded the spiritual values and sensitivities surrounding the Al-Aqsa mosque", the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement Wednesday.
The statement said that the "ugly incidence constitutes a reckless breach of the holiness of the site as well as basic human rights including in particular the freedoms of belief and worship to be enjoyed by Muslims in the Al-Aqsa."..................http://www.aa.com.tr/en/news/415910--turkish-pm-decries-israeli-raid-on-aqsa-as-barbarity6/11/14
