Cops attended and a specialist team was brought in to safely remove the pair It's understood that it took around five hours to remove the duo. A spokesperson for the campaign group said: "With most world leaders either ignoring Israel's genocide in Gaza, or actively involved in it, we cannot look aside while our Palestinian brothers and sisters are being exterminated. "By shutting down Leonardo, we hope to disrupt the supply chain to the deadly F-35 war planes." In December last year, a spokesperson for Leonardo insisted the company does not 'supply equipment' directly to Israel. The factory has been previously targeted by pro-Palestinian protestors for its role in supplying equipment used by the Israel Defense Forces - specifically guidance kits for F-35 jets. Last month three women were arrested after a van was allegedly driven into a perimeter fence at the site. The trio were all charged with offences aggravated by having a "terrorist connection".
