Now the Trudeau government is purchasing a “civilian” version of the Hermes 900 drone made by Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. The deal announced in December by Canada’s transport ministry is worth $28 million. As Israeli media reported, the Hermes 900 was first “tested” by Israel during its 2014 assault on Gaza. Israel killed more than 2,200 Palestinians, including 550 children during that assault, in attacks that frequently obliterated entire families. A major weapons supplier to the Israeli military, Elbit was deeply involved in, and reaped huge profits from, that attack on Gaza.
