London, UK. 11th May, 2021. A Metropolitan Police officer prepares to search an activist during a protest by Palestine Action outside the UK headquarters of Elbit Systems, an Israel-based company developing technologies used for military applications including drones, precision guidance, surveillance and intruder-detection systems. The activists were protesting against the company's presence in the UK and in solidarity with the Palestinian people following attempts at forced evictions of Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem, the deployment of Israeli forces against worshippers at the Al-Aqsa mosque during Ramadan and air strikes on Gaza which have killed several children.
