BRISTOL residents joined the fight against a local Israeli weapons factory today over its role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The firm is Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer and supplies 85 per cent of the country’s drone fleet, as well as land-based equipment, ammunition, missiles, digital warfare and training simulators.
