Elbit, which was the primary target of Palestine Action's activism, is close to winning a contract that would allow it to train 60,000 troops per year, according to Private Eye

The UK is reportedly poised to sign a £2bn ($2.69bn) contract with Israel’s largest arms manufacturer that would see it train 60,000 British soldiers a year.

Elbit Systems provides around 85 percent of Israel’s drones and land-based military equipment, and has played a major role in supplying Israel with weaponry for its genocide in Gaza.

Private Eye reported this week that the company’s British arm, Elbit Systems UK, is close to winning a major contract that would make it a “strategic partner” of Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD).
