Students occupy Italian defense firm Leonardo’s HQ to protest Gaza war

Around a hundred students have occupied Leonardo’s Turin headquarters to denounce what they say is the Italian defense group’s complicity in Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.

The students, who unfurled a Palestinian flag from the roof of Leonardo’s offices, says the company is supporting Israel by providing remote technical assistance and spare parts to Israel’s air force.

Leonardo declines to comment.

Images released by the students show them in Leonardo’s offices waving Palestinian flags and carrying spray cans. Outside they hung banners on the buildings saying ‘no arms to Israel’ and accusing the group of complicity in genocide.
