PALESTINE ACTION hailed another victory against Elbit Systems today after metal components manufacturer Dean Group International confirmed it has severed all ties with the Israeli weapons firm’s British subsidiary Instro Precision.

The activist group said that the Manchester-based company confirmed this in an email and has “promised never to work with Elbit Systems or its subsidiaries in the future.”

It comes less than three weeks after Dean Group was targeted by Palestine Action in a direct action campaign exposing their complicity in the production of Israeli weapons.

A Palestine Action spokesperson said: “Another link in Elbit’s war machine has been smashed. 

“Dean Group’s decision to walk away from Instro Precision — and to reject Elbit Systems entirely — proves that sustained direct action works. 

“This is not just a symbolic win — it’s an operational blow to Elbit’s ability to produce the weapons used to massacre Palestinians.”

Dean Group was contacted for comment.
