The American subsidiary of Elbit Systems, which has faced protests outside its offices over allegations of complicity in 'genocide' in Gaza, has changed its name to Twenty-Six Defense. The number 26 represents the atomic number of iron and is meant to symbolize resilience and durability. 'The change underscores our growth in the American market and reinforces 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, provides night vision systems to the U.S. Air Force and surveillance equipment to Customs and Border Protection, among other things.
