PRO-PALESTINE activists have targeted logistics companies servicing Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.
Palestine Action campaigners sprayed red paint and shattered windows on premises belonging to Kuehne+Nagel’s (K+N) Milton Keynes branch and its London subsidiary Nacaro cargo insurance late on Tuesday night.
In Scotland, they broke into Palletline’s Glasgow site, breaking their windows and spray-painting messages such as “Drop Elbit” and “Free Palestine.”
The activist group said: “Palletline frequently transport items in and out of Elbit’s drone factory U-TacS In Leicester.
“K+N provide transportation and logistics services for Elbit’s UAV Tactical Systems (U-TacS) factory in Leicester, facilitating the manufacture and delivery of Israeli drone technologies.
“Along with partnerships held with Elbit, the company supplying 85 per cent of Israel’s drones and land based military equipment, K+N played a historical role in trafficking weapons to apartheid South Africa, bolstering the regime in the 1980s.”
Both companies have been contacted for comment.
