The factory was also targeted with glass jars which were filled with red and green paint, in an attempt to block access and halt production. Police are currently in attendance at the scene and enquiries are ongoing. In a video shared on social media, one of the activists taking part in the blockade said: "I'm taking direct action today at Leonardo's weapons manufacturer in Edinburgh where we're looking to halt the production of the F-35 component parts that are made here and used to indiscriminately massacre civilians in Gaza." They added: "I'm locked on to the top of the van. We're looking to shut down the factory for as long as possible." The protest comes after the group took similar action on July 15, when protesters drove a van into the security fence of the same factory.
