Protesters Gather Outside Merrimack Electronics Manufacturer in Anti-Israel Demonstration

No injuries or arrests are reported after a group of activists blocked the entrance of Elbit Systems in Merrimack Friday to protest the Israel-based defense-electronics manufacturer.

Organizers say the protest was designed to raise awareness of ostensible genocide in Gaza on the part of the Israeli government.

Some protesters reportedly chained themselves to vehicle tires in front of the entrance; others chained themselves to vehicles. Organizers say Elbit manufactures the majority of Israel’s aerial drones and land vehicles protesters claim are used to commit genocide in Gaza.
