Activists from ‘People Against Genocide’ have occupied a Leicester factory owned by Elbit Systems UK this morning, drilling a hole through its roof in order to abseil into the building. The team of activists evaded security and used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing at UAV Tactical Systems, according to media group The Aftershock. One activist stated: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this genocide that Israel is committing on the Palestinian people. "We know that genocide has no place in this world – so that’s why we’re here to shut Elbit down.” UAV Tactical Systems is owned by Elbit Systems UK, the British subsidiary of Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer.
