Activists Target Elbit Systems' German Subsidiary, Causing Damage and Arrests
Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms company, faced a significant incident at its Ulm subsidiary in Germany. Activists from 'Palästine Aktion' broke in, causing property damage and displaying Palestinian flags. Several arrests followed, with investigations underway.
Elbit's Ulm facility develops military communication technology for the German army. The incident occurred on Monday, with activists smashing doors, throwing windows, and destroying inventory. Police from local and state forces responded, leading to several arrests.
This isn't the first time Elbit's operations have faced disruption. Its UK subsidiary has also experienced protests, resulting in the closure of sites in Oldham and the West Midlands. Meanwhile, Elbit Systems UK reported an operating loss of £4.7 million in 2024, a shift from the £3.8 million profit in the previous year.
The incident in Ulm highlights the growing activism against Elbit Systems' operations. With investigations ongoing and potential impacts on the company's financial performance, the situation bears watching.
