Palestine Action Global targets logistics firm DSV over Elbit link

In an international action, Palestine Action Global targeted multiple sites of transport company DSV. The sites were covered in symbolic blood-red paint, with graffiti highlighting DSV’s role in assisting genocide. Numerous windows were also smashed, and DSV vehicles were put out of action.

Over the weekend (Friday 22 May – Monday 25 May), actions took place against the logistics firm, in the US, Germany and at two sites in France.

In a previous coordinated action on 31 March 2026, Palestine Action Global had targeted DSV in several countries, including in the US and across Europe.

The Danish-owned international transport and logistics company has been transporting weapons, and weapons components, for Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest arms manufacturer. As a result, actionists across the world have repeatedly targeted it.

DSV took over the Elbit job after another shipping company, Kuehne + Nagel, one of the only six companies licensed to transport and handle weapons in Britain, was forced to cut ties with Elbit in 2024 following a series of actions by Palestine Action and broader public pressure.

Elbit produces 85% of the Israeli military’s killer drone fleet, and land-based equipment. Its weapons, which it boasts are “battle-tested” on Palestinians, have been used throughout the ongoing genocide in Gaza, in the Palestinian West Bank, against Syria and Yemen, and currently against Lebanon and Iran. Elbit’s drones have also been used to attack international aid flotillas in international waters.

A spokesperson for Palestine Action Global said:

Elbit Systems are only able to transport their weapons because of ruthless, amoral companies like DSV, who play a key role in the genocide in Gaza, and assist in killing people throughout West Asia.

By targeting them, we will disrupt the transport of Israeli weapons, and cost both Elbit and DSV money. It is not a matter of IF DSV will drop Elbit, but WHEN, because we will visit their sites again and again, until they stop facilitating genocide.

I hope the workers in those Elbit factories wake up to the child-abusing horrors in which they are deeply complicit. Well done to Palestine Action Global for their courageous actions which will doubtless attract substantial responses from the police and governments of their respective countries, as here in the UK. Israel is too valuable to European ruling classes to allow its reputation to be tarnished in this way.

Good germans everywhere in the UK. Elbit workers, DWP workers, Palantir workers, city workers, police workers, court workers, education managers, university administrators, the list goes on and on and on.

The UK is done. Profit over people. I wish it wasn’t but it is. Palestine Action have achieved much at huge cost. Meanwhile Defend our Juries tell over ten thousand activists to hand themselves in to the cops AND THEY ALL DO IT!! Over ten thousand people now falsely labelled “terrorists” with all their details on the new authoritarian grid. Slow clap for Crosland.

Beggars belief. The UK has deference to ruling class built in now. The Thousand Year Reich. Get out while you can.
