With public funding from the Scottish Government, the Leonardo UK facility in Crewe Toll manufactures laser targeting components for F-35 jets used by Israel to bomb Gaza. We demand an end to local participation in the genocidal war machine.


Target Leonardo is a strategic campaign organised by the Edinburgh Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee (EGGEC) to confront complicity within our city. Our aim is to maximise our local impact on the rising momentum towards a comprehensive UK arms embargo on Israel. We demand an end to Scottish public funding for Leonardo UK, and aim to foster community awareness and resistance against the Leonardo factory in Crewe Toll.
As the people of Edinburgh, we will not allow genocide profiteering to go unchallenged in our city. In accordance with international law, moral necessity, and basic human dignity, it is our duty to ensure that our communities are not complicit in the slaughter and subjugation of the Palestinian people.
Leonardo UK is the British subsidiary of Italian arms giant Leonardo SpA. With funding from Scottish Enterprises, Leonardo manufactures laser targeting systems for F-35 jets at its site in Crewe Toll, Edinburgh. Israel uses these jets to bombard Palestinian civilians in Gaza with impunity. We refuse to be silent as Leonardo arms a genocide from within our communities.
