Several senior Turkish officials condemned a raid on Friday by Israeli police on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied East Jerusalem.

Parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop said on Twitter: "As in every Ramadan, we are witnessing days when Israel's violence and cruelty increased."

"The attack on the group of worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque tonight is clear state terror. Whoever sows violence and cruelty cannot reap peace and tranquillity. I condemn the terror in #AlAqsa," he added.
