Declassified travelled to Newcastle to uncover the story of the Armstrong Works, a sprawling factory that used to employ a quarter of the local population but is now owned by Israeli state-owned arms company Rafael.

While the companies there today deny they are sending machinery or weapons to the Israeli army, we found that they’re producing weapons systems that have been battle-tested on Palestinians in Gaza.

However, what the factory is producing doesn’t matter to local British-Palestinian man Jason Hussein. ‘Even if that factory was producing teddy bears, the money that’s being made is still going into the coffers of a genocidal state.’

So the factory is in Newcastle, UK? I was kind of confused where this is.
