Pro-Palestine activists staged a protest outside the Leonardo UK air defense factory in Edinburgh, Scotland, claiming it produces components for F-35 fighter jets used by Israel. The protesters, numbering around one hundred, called on Leonardo UK to cancel its contract with Lockheed Martin, the F-35 manufacturer.

Protesters urged factory workers to take action within their labor union against the contract. A spokesperson for Leonardo UK stated that the company is subject to government export controls and does not supply equipment directly to Israel.
