This morning, protesters affiliated with Palestine Action have successfully blocked all four entrances to Discovery Park in Kent, preventing access to the prominent business and science estate. Discovery Park, known for its advanced laboratory facilities and modern office spaces, is situated near Sandwich and serves as a hub for various scientific and technological companies.
The protest specifically targets the Instro Precision weapons factory located within the park, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, which manufactures sniper rifle sights for the Israeli military. The demonstrators are protesting against the ongoing conflict in Gaza, accusing Israel of committing acts of genocide and expressing a desire to shut down the weapons manufacturing facility as part of a broader economic blockade to support Palestine.
