Three protesters against companies linked to arming Israel arrested in Britain and Scotland

British police arrested three demonstrators during a peaceful protest outside an Elbit Systems facility in Bristol, coinciding with actions in Aberdeen and Glasgow targeting companies accused of providing logistics services to the Israeli weapons manufacturer. The campaign demands an end to military supply chains supporting Israel, saying Elbit provides about 80% of ground forces equipment and 85% of drones.

British police arrested three demonstrators during a peaceful protest outside a facility of Elbit Systems in the city of Bristol on Friday, as part of a campaign demanding an end to military supply chains supporting Israel. The arrest came after protesters blocked the main entrance to the facility, denouncing the company's role in supplying the occupation army with weapons used in the war on Gaza. In Aberdeen, Scotland, the organization 'Peoples Against Genocide' held a protest outside the headquarters of DSV shipping and logistics company, accusing it of transporting military equipment for Elbit Systems. In Glasgow, Scottish police opened an investigation after pro-Palestinian activists targeted the headquarters of DB Schenker, a subsidiary of DSV. The group carrying out the protest said its action comes after targeting DSV facilities at Birmingham Airport and Bristol earlier in the year, stressing that damage will continue as long as the company maintains its contract with Elbit. These actions come in response to a global call to cut supply chains that facilitate war crimes, noting that Elbit provides about 80% of ground forces equipment and 85% of drones.
