Pro-Palestinian activists in the UK have chained the doors of a factory believed to be owned by a Zionist military company which manufactures drone engines for the Zionist entity.
The activists, claiming to be from the London Palestine Action Network, occupied the roof of the arms factory in Shenstone, Staffordshire in the early hours on Tuesday, chaining shut the main gates to the factory before scaling the roof.
The group are now staging the second day of the factory's occupation from the rooftop and have demanded the of closing the factory belonging UAV Engines Limited, a UK registered company owned by Elbit Systems, the Zionist entity's largest weapons company and the world's largest manufacturer of drones.
Draping a banner reading "UK: Stop arming Israel" over the side of the building, protesters spent the morning reading out names of those killed since the latest conflict began.
One of the protesters, Sara Cooper, was quoted by Occupy London saying: "By allowing this factory to export engines for killer drones to Israel, the UK government is providing direct support and approval to Israel's massacres."
"The UK government has blood on its hands and must end its support for Israel's crimes against humanity by ending all forms of military cooperation with Israel, starting by closing this factory. We demand the UK government stop arming Israel."
"Israel is only able to murder Palestinian civilians in cold blood and attack UN schools and hospitals because of the huge military cooperation it enjoys with companies and governments around the world. This factory is the clearest example of the vast military cooperation taking place between the UK and Israel."
"Elbit Systems markets its drone technology as 'battle tested', a sickening boast that their drones have been proven to be effective at killing Palestinians. The UK government is importing technology that has been developed during the course of Israel's crimes against humanity."
A report revealed earlier this week showed the extent to which the British government has been supplying the Zionist entity with military equipment ranging from weapons control and targeting systems to ammunition, drones and armored vehicles which are being used in the bombardment of Gaza.
Documents shown to The Independent revealed that arms export licenses worth £42m had been granted to 130 British defense manufacturers since 2010 with the aim of selling military gear to the Zionist entity.
