A Lanarkshire electronics firm has been vandalised for a second time by pro-Palestine activists over its alleged links to arms manufacturers.
Kelvinside Electronics had windows smashed and red paint sprayed on its premises in Kilsyth in January 2025, due to alleged ties to Leonardo which has a factory in Edinburgh.
The company produces laser targeting systems for Lockheed Martin, which sells the jets to Israel.
The Italian company is also the supplier of the Israeli Air Force's M-346 and AW119Kx training aircraft and the manufacturer of the OTO 76/62 Super Rapido Multi-Feeding naval gun that is installed on Israeli Navy warships which have been used for military assaults and enforcing the illegal naval blockade of Gaza.

Leonardo says it does not directly supply the IDF.
In the early hours of September 22, activists smashed the windows of the Kelvinside Electronics building with hammers under cover of darkness.
One was also seen spraying red paint from a fire extinguisher.
The anonymous activists are calling for the company to drop their alleged ties with Leonardo so as to not be targeted again.
Kelvinside appeared on a list of approved suppliers on the Italian company's website, but the page was removed in 2026.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 2.20am on Tuesday, 22 September, 2026, officers received a report of vandalism at a premises on Gavell Road, Glasgow.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
Kelvinside Electronics have been contacted for comment.
