Protestors have blocked the entrance to the Leonardo building saying they are campaigning against arms sales to Israel. Police are also on the scene.
Cam, a local resident who is joining the protest, said: “We can’t allow arms being used in a massacre Palestinians to be supplied in our name and funded by our taxes. And as local residents we don’t want murder being manufactured on our doorstep. It makes us feel complicit.Â
“As Israel threatens to invade Rafah, predicted to cause an unthinkably brutal bloodbath, we couldn’t stand by silently while a factory down the road resources that massacre. We had to act.
“We demand that the Government immediately halt arms supplies to Israel before an invasion of Rafah and ban arms sales to Israel going forward, and support a permanent ceasefire and an end to the siege. ”
