28 Aug. 2024: Anti-war activists from Palestine Action have targeted Kite Packaging’s regional distribution centre in Sittingbourne, glueing warehouse doors shut and damaged other parts of the property, spray painting “Drop Elbit”.
They claim one of Kite Packaging’s customers is Instro Precision, owned by Elbit Systems, an Israel-based international military technology company.
Palestine Action said the company provides “engineered solutions to protect, transport and store” weaponry.
A Palestine Action spokesperson said: “We refuse to allow companies who are enabling the Gaza genocide through working with Israel’s Elbit Systems to continue with business as usual. Through relentless action, we have acquired a wealth of knowledge on different firms who enable Elbit’s deadly business. Actions will continue until the links end and Elbit is shut down for good.”
Police have confirmed they are investigating a burglary reported at the site.
A spokesperson for the force said: “During the incident several windows, doors and vehicles were damaged and an investigation is underway to identify those responsible.”
