Arabic version: اعتقال الشرطة نشطاء في منشأة الطائرات المسيرة المرتبطة بإسرائيل

UK police arrested pro-Palestine activists for blockading a facility operated by UAV Engines Ltd, a subsidiary of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, and one of the world’s largest drone engine manufacturers.

The activists say Elbit’s weapons are used in Israel’s war on Gaza. The blockade aimed to protest the company’s involvement in these activities.

According to Al Jazeera, the arrests occurred as tensions surrounding the use of military technology in conflicts continue to rise. The actions taken by the activists highlight ongoing concerns regarding arms manufacturing and its implications for international humanitarian issues.
