UK police arrest activists at Israeli-owned drone engine plant

Thursday, 9 July 2026, 06:30 · 1 min read

British police have arrested pro-Palestine activists who blockaded a facility operated by UAV Engines Ltd, a subsidiary of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems and one of the world's largest manufacturers of drone engines. The protesters targeted the UK plant in opposition to Elbit's alleged role in supplying weapons used in Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Elbit Systems is Israel's largest private defence contractor, and its UK operations have been a recurring focus of activist pressure since the Gaza conflict escalated.
