<p style="line-height: 140%;"><strong><span
style="color: #000000; line-height: 19.6px;">Kicking Elbit out of
Tamworth shows once again that
direct action is a necessary
tactic. It is one which must
be utilised and amplified in
the face of the Gaza genocide.</span></strong></p>
<p style="line-height: 140%;"> </p>
<p style="line-height: 140%;"><span
style="color: #000000; line-height: 19.6px;">Elite KL had been
manufacturing parts for Israel's
military vehicles, including the
deadly <em>Merkava</em> tanks.
Since 2020, actionists
repeatedly smashed windows,
dismantled camera systems,
carried out multiple rooftop
occupations (one resulting in
over £300,000 of damage) and
drenching the building in
blood-red paint. At times their
production of Israeli military
parts was out of commission for
weeks on end.</span></p>

<p style="line-height: 140%;"><strong><span
style="color: #000000; line-height: 19.6px;">After stating that it faced
a 75% drop in profits due to
increased security costs
resulting from Palestine
Action's efforts, the company
was sold on.</span></strong></p>
<p style="line-height: 140%;"> </p>
<p style="line-height: 140%;"><span
style="color: #000000; line-height: 19.6px;">Today we received an email
from Elite KL's new
owners, Griffin Newco Ltd.,
stating they will have nothing
to do with the previous owners,
Elbit, and have discontinued any
arms manufacturing:</span></p>

acquisition of Elite KL
Limited by a UK investment
syndicate, the newly appointed
board has unanimously agreed
to withdraw from all future
defence contracts and
terminate its association with
its former parent company".</em></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 140%;"> </p>
<p style="line-height: 140%;"><span
style="color: #000000; line-height: 19.6px;">This news was further
verified by a registered change
of ownership of Elite KL, a
statement on the company's
website and business news.</span></p>

<p style="line-height: 140%;"><span
style="color: #000000; line-height: 19.6px;">Each activist who occupied
and dismantled Tamworth did so
in order to bring an end to
Israel's weapons trade, and to
end the profiteering from
Palestinian repression. <strong>Every
defeat Elbit faces is a
victory for the Palestinian
people.</strong></span></p>
