AN Israeli weapons manufacturer has been dropped by another company amid Palestine Action’s ongoing campaign at its offices and factories across Britain.

The activist group said today it received an email from property management firm Fisher German confirming it has cut ties with Elbit Systems and its subsidiary, UAV Engines Ltd (UEL), in Shenstone. 

UEL designs and makes engines for drones, describing its products as “engines for various size tactical UAVs, target drones and single mission platforms.”

Palestine Action says these include an engine for the Hermes 450 drone, which “will certainly be in use in Israel’s current genocide in Gaza.”

It comes after a similar announcement by Elbit’s former recruiters iO Associates, which dropped Israel’s largest weapons maker after a campaign by the direct action network.

Palestine Action said in a statement: “Today’s announcement shows what we already knew and what we’ve already shown – direct action gets the goods.

“But our work doesn’t stop here. Elbit can only do the work it does here because it is facilitated by many other partners and companies.

“It is the responsibility of all those opposed to the genocide of Palestinians to disrupt this supply chain in anyway we can.”

The group said it had targeted Fisher German dozens of times as part of an “ongoing campaign against those complicit in Elbit’s business of bloodshed.”

It first occupied the roof of their Birmingham offices, covering the site, Vine Property Management in Harborne, in paint in 2021, continuing action there throughout 2022. 

The latest action saw a single activist occupy the roof of the entrance to Fisher German's Manchester offices.

Elbit and Fisher German have been contacted for comment.
