Anti-Israel Activists Damage Tanks Destined for Ukraine at Belgian Arms Factory
(Brussels Signal-Belgium) Carl Deconinck - Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian activists carried out co-ordinated action on June 23 against two Belgian companies - OIP in Tournai and Syensqo in Haren - accusing them of complicity in Israeli military operations in Gaza. About 100 masked activists entered the grounds of defense company OIP, a Belgian subsidiary of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, and damaged tanks intended for delivery to Ukraine. "They entered our buildings with grinding wheels and hammers, said CEO Freddy Versluys. "We now face a delay of at least a month in delivering crucial equipment to Ukraine," estimating the damage at nearly 1 million euros. He added that about 80% of the protestors were women.
