The company continues to provide services to the empire, designing and building the 101st Airborne Command and Control headquarters in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, maintaining 70 nuclear power plants around the U.S. and providing security services to military and industrial installations around the world.

But what has made Day & Zimmermann the target of multiple protests in Philadelphia — starting during an International Women’s Day protest in March 2024 — is its rôle as the supplier of most of the artillery munitions used by the Israel Occupation Forces in Gaza. This includes the highly explosive M830A1 rounds Israeli tanks fired at a United Nations school in Gaza in November 2023.

Israeli tanks fired the M830A1 rounds on Jan. 29, 2024, that killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members and the medics who attempted to rescue her in the Gaza neighborhood of Tel al-Hawa. The serial number on an exploded round found inside the ambulance indicates it was produced by Mason & Hanger, a subsidiary of Day & Zimmermann. (workers.org/2024/03/77442)

As death tolls from the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza continue to mount, the deaths of over 55,000 Palestinians provide the reasons to continue these protests!
