PRO-PALESTINE activists halted all engine production for Israel’s killer drones in Elbit Systems’ factory in Shenstone, Staffordshire, today-
Palestine Action said activists occupied the roof of UAV Engines, which is owned by Elbit Systems, and blocked a private road leading to Elbit’s headquarters in Bristol.
A spokesman for the group said the factory is a crucial subsidiary of Elbit because it produces the engine for the Hermes 450 drone, believed to be the backbone of the Israeli military drone fleet.
