The group from Palestine Action chained themselves to the gates of UAV Engines this morning (18th January) and daubed the building in red paint.

The activists – who say the company makes parts for use on Israeli drones manufactures by Elbit – have previously targeted the building, with [a recent protest taking place in September](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/campaigners-say-shenstone-rooftop-protest-is-for-the-sake-of-human-rights-justice-and-freedom/).

They say the company makes parts for Elbit, which manufactures drones for use by the Israeli military.

A spokesperson for Palestine Action said:

> “We will not stop our vital work until all ten of Elbit’s UK locations are shut down for good.  
>  
> “The power is in our hands. Unless we are actively doing everything we can to prevent Elbit from operating, every single one of us is complicit in Israel’s campaign of killing.”
