Elbit Systems' American subsidiary has changed its name to Twenty-Six Defense amid criticism the company has faced following the Gaza war and protests outside the company's offices over cooperation with the IDF in 'genocide.' The number 26 represents the atomic number of iron and is intended to symbolize strength and resilience. 'The change underscores our growth in the American market and strengthens our commitment to supporting U.S. warfighters wherever the mission takes place,' said subsidiary CEO Luke Savoie. The company, which employs 3,300 workers at its headquarters in Texas, supplies night vision systems to the U.S. Air Force and surveillance equipment to Customs and Border Protection, among other things.
