London's Met Police are trialling Israeli-developed SandCat armoured vehicles, previously "battle-tested" in Gaza, for high-risk operations involving "serious public disorder".

SandCats are manufactured by Israeli defence company Plasan, which for over three decades has been a key supplier of deadly equipment to the Israeli military.

According to Israel Defence, Plasan supplied up to 700 SandCats to the Israeli military following the start of Israel’s ongoing genocide on Gaza.

The tendency towards police and authoritarianism will not be contained, resist now!
