Pro-Palestine Activists Block Edinburgh Factory Over F-35 Jet Parts for Zionist Entity

Pro-Palestine activists shut down operations at the Leonardo factory in Edinburgh on Wednesday, using vans to blockade entry gates and positioning themselves atop the vehicles. The demonstrators accuse the factory of producing laser-targeting systems for F-35 fighter jets used by the Zionist entity, which are enabling acts of genocide

The protest was organized by Palestine Action, with a spokesperson describing it as a stand against “the production of Palestinian slaughter.” The group also criticized the British and Scottish governments for their involvement in supporting the Zionist defense industry.

Video footage shared on Palestine Action’s X account captured the protest as it unfolded. The blockade is the latest in a series of direct actions targeting facilities linked to arms production for the Zionist entity.
