Pro-Palestinian protesters target drone maker in Leicester

Pro-Palestinian protesters spray-painted the site of a drone manufacturer in Leicester on Wednesday 8 May.

Other activists punched a hole in the roof, the group said.

UAV Tactical Systems is a subsidiary of Elbit Systems UK, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.
