Logistics firm DB Schenker premises vandalised over Israel links

POLICE are investigating after activists vandalised a logistics firm in Glasgow over its links to Israel.

The group targeted DB Schenker, part of DSV, which they said provides “logistics transport services” to Israeli defence technology company Elbit Systems.

Activists said they bypassed security in the early hours of Tuesday and covered the building’s foyer and offices with paint and messages saying “Drop Elbit” on the walls.

Pictures from the scene also showed broken windows at the building in the Hillington area.

The group said the action came after incidents targeting DSV at Birmingham Airport and Bristol earlier this year.

A spokesperson for the Glasgow group said: “As long as DSV and its subsidiaries maintain their contract with Elbit Systems, property damage and disruption will continue.”

The group said dropping Elbit could be DSV’s “wisest logistics decision yet.”

Police Scotland spokesperson said the force received reports of the site being vandalised and that inquiries are ongoing.

DSV was approached for comment.
