PALESTINIAN activists targeted Elbit’s investors, insurers and landlords on Nakba Day today.

Filton weapons factory in Bristol, owned by the Israel-based international military technology company and defence contractor Elbit Systems, was also blocked by a repurposed ambulance as part of Palestine Action’s day of protest.

Speaking from the roof of the ambulance, one of the activists said: “Almost 20,000 Palestinian children have been killed, and that’s why we’re here to shut down this factory.”Actions took place against the Glasgow offices of Elbit’s insurers, Allianz, the Manchester-based landlords of Elbit’s Bristol HQ and the Edinburgh offices of Elbit’s investors, BNY Mellon.

The Israeli occupation army yesterday admitted that its forces used an ambulance to infiltrate Balata refugee camp in Nablus in the northern West Bank, claiming that it is investigating the incident that Palestinians say led to the death of an elderly woman and a young man.

On Sunday, Palestinians shared videos taken by a surveillance camera in a shop showing Israeli occupation soldiers getting out of an ambulance in the heart of the camp and shooting at passersby, which they say led to the death of an elderly woman and a young man, according to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

In a statement quoted by the paper yesterday, the occupation army claimed that it operates in accordance with international law and that the incident in question is being investigated.

“The investigation would examine the use of the vehicles shown in the video and allegations of harm to uninvolved individuals during the exchange of fire between the terrorists and our forces.”

The video was taken on 19 December 2024 during an Israeli raid on the camp. On the same day, Palestinians reported that two people were killed in the operation, one of them an 80-year-old woman, according to the Israeli newspaper.

At the time, the Israeli army said in a statement that its forces launched an operation to arrest a suspect in Balata camp, and “during the activity, there was an exchange of fire with fighters who fired shots and threw explosive devices at the forces,” the statement added.

Union brands crisis a ‘national shame made in Downing Street’

AMBULANCE performance times are now the worst on record, the latest data revealed today, with unions branding it a “‎national disgrace made in 10 Downing Street.”

One in 10 people were left waiting for ambulances for more than three-and-a-half hours last month after falling seriously ill with the likes of hearts attacks, strokes and sepsis, according to NHS England.

…

Downing Street, which has refused to call the situation in the NHS a crisis, said the figures are “obviously unacceptable” and the government was “very focused” on improving NHS performance.

But Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said the government “must carry the can” for excessive deaths caused by the problems highlighted in last month’s statistics.

She said: “The blame for this tragedy lies with years of underfunding and poor pay. It is a national disgrace delivered by Downing Street.
