Overnight, activists from Palestine Action Scotland targeted the Glasgow and Edinburgh premises of Biffa Limited. They smashed windows, spray painted ‘Drop Leonardo’ and covered the sites in red paint, to symbolise the company’s complicity with spilling Palestinian blood.

Biffa Limited dispose of hazardous waste for Leonardo and Thales, two weapons companies based in Scotland which arm Israel. Leonardo’s Edinburgh factory supplies laser targeting systems for Israel’s F-35 fighter jets which have routinely been used to massacre Palestinians and the Lebanese people. Thales holds a joint venture in Leicester, producing drones with Israel’s biggest weapons producer, Elbit Systems.

In recent weeks, Palestine Action Scotland has targeted several companies who facilitate the operations of Leonardo, Thales and Elbit. This has involved overnight operations against Kelvinside Electronics, Parker Hannifin, Allianz and now Biffa.

A Palestine Action spokesperson said:

“Weapons factories arming Israel’s genocidal regime rely on a network of other companies in order to operate their deadly trade. Therefore, Palestine Action Scotland is targeting each of the links in Israel’s military supply chain.

All firms who profit from Palestinian bloodshed must cease their complicity or expect Palestine Action.”
