ISRAELI bombs inflicting death and devastation on Gaza are fitted with laser-guidance systems made in Scotland, we can reveal.

Bombs with laser-guidance systems like those made by Raytheon, one of the world’s biggest arms firms, at their plant in Fife were photographed falling on Palestinian neighbourhoods last week.

Raytheon once said: “We take a dumb bomb and make it into a smart bomb.”

And one of their huge Paveway II bombs was pictured as it fell, part of a four-week Israeli assault that has killed 1903 Palestinians, including 450 children, and injured 10,000. Sixty-seven Israeli soldiers and three civilians have been killed.

Raytheon are one of only two firms who make the Paveway II smart bomb and are one of Israel’s biggest arms suppliers.

In 2009, after another Israeli blitz on Gaza, Amnesty International found remnants of a 500lb bomb with manufacturing codes identifying it as one of Raytheon’s.

The bombs and their navigation systems are made in pieces at sites around the world – including at the plant in

Glenrothes – before being assembled in the US.

Asked if Scots-made systems are being used in bombs in Gaza, Raytheon yesterday said: “Our Glenrothes facility does component work for a wide range of our government and commercial solutions.”

The Massachusetts company have sold Paveway technology to 43 countries and, in 2012, announced a £252million contract with a foreign buyer.

Months later, Raytheon, the world’s fifth biggest arms manufacturer, said their Glenrothes plant, where 560 people work, had won a £7millon contract to make the bomb’s laser guidance system as part of an international order.

The so-called bunker-buster bombs have been laying waste to Gaza since the Israeli offensive – Operation Protective Edge – started last month, with schools, hospitals and flats reduced to rubble.

Palestinian officials claimed last week that more than 50,000 had fallen on Gaza in recent weeks. They said 6318 missiles, bombs and shells were fired by the Israeli Air Force, 13,866 by the navy and 30,581 by tanks and artillery.

Photographs last week showed a guided bomb – identified as a Paveway II – destroying a block of flats in Gaza.

The Israelis claimed the owner of the building was called before the attack and asked to evacuate the block. Three jet fighters then rained bombs on the building.

The violence continued yesterday as the UK Government came under further pressure to stop arms sales to Israel after the resignation of Foreign Office minister Sayeeda Warsi.

She said the Government’s stance on Gaza was “morally indefensible.”

This week, NHS teams will travel to the war torn area to treat Gazans wounded in the conflict.

Ministers announced a review of arms export licences to Israel worth £8billion last week but MPs and campaigners have demanded details of UK military exports used by Israel in the current offensive. The Scottish Government have also called for a suspension of arms sales to Israel.

Glasgow North Labour MP Ann McKechin, of the Committees on Arms Exports Control, said: “The Government are right to start a review on all the individual licences for both military and dual use.

“They need to consider suspending and potentially revoking licences.”

Siobhan Reardon, of Amnesty International, said: “No company based in Scotland, or anywhere else, should be supplying the Israeli military with any arms or equipment.

“The UK’s delay in deciding to freeze arms sales is indefensible and it’s truly worrying Downing Street apparently sees no need to impose any kind of embargo on weapons to Israel, despite the killing of men, women and 450 children.

“Add to this the probability that Israeli forces have committed war crimes and it is incomprehensible we are witnessing indecision by the UK to stop the selling of arms. We should not be complicit in war crimes.”

The Campaign Against the Arms Trade also called for an end to arms sales to Israel, claiming claiming that Raytheon applied for export licences in 2010, 2011 and 2012 which remain valid.

They are among £42million of licences granted to 130 UK defence firms since 2010 to sell arms to Israel.

Raytheon supply Israel with guided air-to-surface missiles, as well as cluster bombs and bunker busters. Their radars are also used in Israel’s jets and missiles and the firm are involved in the country’s Iron Dome defence shield designed to shoot down rockets fired by Hamas.

Earlier this year the Sunday Mail revealed that the UK Government allowed firms to sell chemicals to Syria capable of being used to make deadly nerve gas.
