The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom's “rejection and condemnation in the strongest terms” an Israeli official’s storming of Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque and the Knesset's adoption of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian State.

“The Kingdom affirmed that these continued hostile practices towards Islamic sanctities and international resolutions and laws reflect the aggressive approach of the Israeli occupation authorities,” the Ministry said in a statement.

It stressed that “these practices hinder any progress aimed at sparing the blood of innocent people and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.”

The three gunmen who shot and killed six people in Oman this week were all Omani nationals, police said on Thursday.

The shooting took place in the Wadi al-Kabir neighborhood of Oman's capital Muscat.

The Royal Oman Police said in a statement the three gunmen were brothers and "were killed due to their insistence on resisting security personnel.”

The statement said that police investigations had indicated the three gunmen were "influenced by misguided ideas.”

The six people killed by the gunmen included a police officer responding to the attack.
