Palestine Action group targeted 20 Barclays Bank branches over its investment in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company

In a joint action with Shut The System, Palestine Action announced its targeting of Barclays Bank was aimed at “demanding divestment from Israel’s weapons trade and fossil fuels”. As part of the overnight actions, ‘Barclay’s Wealth and Investment Management’ office in Edinburgh was spray painted with the words “drop Elbit”. The group calls for escalating responses, after Elbit System’s CEO publicly pledged to ramp up weapons productions.
