British activists from the Genocide Abatement group occupied the headquarters of Martin-Baker, a British engineering firm, to protest its supply of ejection seats for F-35 fighter jets to the Israeli military, Shehab Wire reported. The occupation targeted the company's role in providing components for aircraft operated by Israeli forces.
The protesters' action highlights growing pressure on British defense contractors over their involvement in supplying equipment to Israel. Martin-Baker manufactures ejection seats, critical safety systems used in the advanced fighter aircraft.
