Last Tuesday 22nd July, an Israeli air-strike on Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, killed at least four Palestinians, including a member of the Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Zakaria Abu Daqa.

Sortu is deeply outraged by this assassination and the attacks on the Palestinian population, the State of Israel is employing all the might of modern warfare against one of the most densely populated zones of the planet, even targeting UN premises on the ground.

SORTU calls for an end of the attacks and joins the Palestinian call for the international community to give effective protection to the population of Gaza and the West Bank.

All our solidarity to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Zakaria Abu Daqa's friends and relatives and all the Palestinian people.

Agur eta Ohore Zakaria.
