Palestine Action target property firm that rents factory to weapons manufacturer

PALESTINE activists have shut down a Birmingham property firm which rents an industrial site to an Israeli-owned British weapons manufacturer.

The Palestine Action protesters smashed windows and sprayed red paint at the offices of LondonMetric in Birmingham today.

The direct action group said the company rents a site in Leicester to Elbit Systems, which manufactures military drones which it sells to Israel.

The group said: “These drones have well-documented links to war crimes and are certain to be playing a major role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which so far has cost the lives of over 20,000 Palestinians.

“By leasing the Leicester factory to Elbit, LondonMetric is in part responsible for the deadly products manufactured there, and the Palestinian lives lost as a result.

“LondonMetric’s Birmingham offices have previously been met with protests by the group Youth Front For Palestine and action by Palestine Action will continue until the company ends its association with Elbit.”
