Palestine Action force another company to cut ties with Elbit Systems

A COMPANY supplying technical equipment to British factories operated by Israel’s biggest arms manufacturer has broken off its links with the firm after being targeted by Palestine Action protesters.

Hydrafeed, based in Milton Keynes, manufactures high-tech machine tools used by Instro Precision in Kent, which is part of Israeli-owned Elbit Systems.

Elbit Systems has five factories in Britain and supplies 85 per cent of Israel’s military drone fleet and land-based equipment. 

Palestine Action has targeted Hydrafeed’s factory with raids that the group said “involved activists abseiling inside Hydrafeed to dismantle their equipment, smashing through the front doors and spraying their premises in blood-red paint.”

The group said it had now received an email from the company, stating: “Hydrafeed has made it clear to Instro Precision that it is not prepared to provide any sales or services of its products to Instro Precision, its parent company Elbit Systems or any of Elbit Systems subsidiaries now or in the future.”

Hydrafeed was invited to comment.
