A FIRM involved in arming Israel was left covered in red paint and with its windows smashed today after a protest by Palestine Action supporters.

The direct action group said the firm, CDW, which has offices in Peterborough, supplies technical equipment to Israeli-owned Elbit, the country’s biggest arms manufacturer.

Elbit has four factories in Britain, building drones used by Israel in its destruction of Gaza. The firm also supplies Israel with munitions and missiles.
