Activists target two UK weapons companies supplying Israel

Activists from Palestine Action targeted two UK-based weapons companies supplying the Israel-based Elbit Systems in protest of the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza.

The activists broke into Dean Group International, a Manchester-based arms components manufacturer, and dismantled machinery and equipment. Another group in Sunbury-on-Thames shattered windows and spread red paint on the walls and hardware belonging to the arms supplier Ametek Airtechnology.

Activists claimed that both companies supply parts to Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems. Dean Group International manufactures components for weapons, missiles, radar, and communications equipment. Ametek Airtechnology specialises in designing, developing and manufacturing custom-made thermal and motion control solutions for weapons, including missiles, military vehicles and fighter jets like the F-35.
