This morning, activists from Palestine Action returned once again to Staffordshire to inflict a blow to Israel’s arms trade by shutting down the factory responsible for making their drone engines.
On Monday, a group of over 100 protesters blockaded two sites of Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, Elbit Systems, shutting them both down for over 5 hours in spite of a heavy police presence.
Glass panels were cracked, and the front doors were covered in red paint, symbolising the bloodshed of the Palestinian people.
Yesterday, activists from Palestine Action blockaded the Bristol HQ of Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems.

Windows were shattered, and the site was covered in red paint, symbolising the bloodshed of the Palestinian people.
