Bristol residents blockade Elbit Systems factory over Gaza genocide
Residents blockade a weapons factory in North Bristol

BRISTOL residents joined the fight against a local Israeli weapons factory today over its role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Around 40 people blockaded an Elbit Systems factory in the north of the city this morning, forming a line to prevent vehicles from entering the site while encouraging workers to join them. 

The firm is Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer and supplies 85 per cent of the country’s drone fleet, as well as land-based equipment, ammunition, missiles, digital warfare and training simulators.
