Israeli arms 'Elbit Systems' company opens branch in Dubai
Dubai (QNN)- The Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems opened a branch in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday. The company manufactures drones that are routinely used by the Israeli army to bombard the Gaza strip. The new venture, Elbit Systems Emirates, “will seek to foster a long-term cooperation with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces,” the Israeli arms firm said in a statement. "We believe that our broad portfolio of solutions positions us well to address the needs and opportunities in this region," Ran Kril, the vice president of Elbit System's marketing operations, said in a statement. Elbit manufactures the Hermes armed drone and cutting-edge surveillance technology, which are routinely used to bombard the people in Gaza, including civilians. The announcement comes as relations between the occupation state and the gulf country continued to thaw following last summer's normalization agreement. The company had manufactured advanced weapons for air, land and sea, including military aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems and crewless surface vessels, and electronic warfare and espionage weapons. It made a revenue of $4,662.6m in 2020. Its branches in the UK had been under scrutiny from pro-Palestinian activists who called for the shut down of its factories and offices, saying that it manufactured drones used by Israeli forces in the deadly bombardments of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
