Activists blocked access to 2 companies with links to Israel on Monday morning. They accuse the companies of complicity in what they describe as “genocidal acts” of the part of Isreal in Gaza. They demand compliance with the military embargo against Israel and that the Belgian government impose sanctions on the country.

The protest started at around 7:45 am on Monday. Protesters blocked the entrance to the Syensqo chemical company in Brussels and OIP Sensor Systems in Tournai (Hainaut Province). OIP Sensor Systems is entirely owned by Elbit, an Israeli arms company.

At Syensqo in Brussels the activists blocked all the access routes to the company and painted the front of the office building red. The company supplies parts for Israeli drones.

"Syensqo knowingly supplies a key component for a weapon known for its use in Israeli war crimes. Syensqo cannot deny its complicity in the ongoing genocide”, the activists said in a statement.

Meanwhile, in Tournai, activists entered a warehouse used by OIP, where they painted equipment that is being stored inside red.
