Two action takers arrested after they shut down the production of parts for Israel's F-35 fighter jets. Direct action against the war machine is within our power, and will continue.

We are still shutting down Leonardo's Edinburgh factory! Through direct action, the people have the power to stop weapons being made which are used to commit genocide.

An action taker has secured themselves inside a modified van which is blocking Leonardo's Edinburgh factory. Another is on top of the vehicle. Together, they're shutting down the production of Israel's F-35 fighter jet parts.
