We are not messing’ say activists following third attack on premises

A premises in Cork has once again had its windows smashed and red paint daubed on its walls by anti-Israel activists.

The attack took place last night in Little Island and targeted a building operated by DB Schenker, a subsidiary of Danish transport and logistics company DSV.

It is the third such targeted attack on the premises in recent months to be claimed by anti-Israel activist group Palestine Action Éire, with a previous identical incident reported in May.

In an email shared with media this morning, the group cited DSV's alleged provision of transport logistics services to Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems as the motivation for its actions.

Palestine Action Éire claim that DSV is involved in the shipping of weapons and military components for Elbit Systems who the group claims produce 85% of the weapons and vehicles for the Israeli Defence Forces.

A member of Palestine Action Éire said: “It's time that companies like DSV cop on. How many more Elbit partners must people force to divest until they understand that we are not messing.

“DSV, you might as well save us all the time and stop serving Elbit Systems now,” they added.

Gardaí were made aware of the incident and have begun an investigation.

An official garda report read: “Gardaí received a report of criminal damage to a commercial premises at Harbour View Business Park, Little Island, Cork, at around 12.35am on 27 July 2026. Investigations are ongoing.”

No arrests have been reported at time of writing.

DSV, which has offices in more than 90 countries, operates numerous sites around Ireland, the majority of which are in Dublin. The company is said to employ approximately 400 staff in Ireland and close to 75,000 worldwide.
