Here is everything you need to know about Israeli forces storming Al-Aqsa Mosque during the night

The EU has called for de-escalation in the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem, putting responsibility on "all sides".
"Acts of incitement around the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif must be avoided and the status quo has to be respected" it said http://ow.ly/HmTS30rH4Ct

It follows a night of violence at Al-Aqsa Mosque, during which Israeli forces stormed the compound


Palestinian citizens of Israel are protesting across the country against last night's raids on al-Aqsa and the Sheikh Jarrah evictions.
Demonstrators gathered in Nazareth, Jaffa, al-Lid and various Palestinian-majority towns and villages http://ow.ly/RihJ30rH4N0

Saudi Arabia has said it "rejects" Israel's planned evictions in #SheikhJarrah.
Meanwhile, the UAE - which normalised diplomatic relations with Israel last year - “strongly condemned” both the evictions and the subsequent violence


Israel has tried to downplay the situation in #SheikhJarrah as a “real-estate dispute”

The Israeli raids on al-Aqsa have set a tense atmosphere ahead of Laylat al-Qadr (the night of power).
Every inch of al-Aqsa is usually covered with worshippers on the 27th night of Ramadan, which is considered exceptionally holy in Islam

Laylat al-Qadr, the holiest night in Islam, typically draws large crowds of worshippers to al-Aqsa.
But Israeli forces have reportedly blocked buses bringing Palestinians from other towns and cities to Jerusalem, forcing them to walk along highways http://ow.ly/16AX30rH5Uw
