OVER 100 trade unionists from protest group Palestine Action have blocked access to factories in the UK with alleged connections to Israel.
Workers launched two separate protests at Leicester factories in the city's Meridian Business Park with the aim of disrupting the flow of weapons to Israel early on Thursday morning.
The group shared on Twitter/X images of workers on the roof of the factory, writing:"Actionists occupy the roof and smash Leicester’s Howmet weapons factory." UAV Tactical Systems is a subsidiary of Elbit Systems UK, which in turn is a subsidiary of Israel-based international defence electronics company Elbit Systems.
It is understood that multiple lorries and vans were turned away from the site, unable to make deliveries to Elbit factory. One lorry was reportedly abandoned inside the factory grounds by its driver after trying both exits.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
