Elbit Systems Ltd. rose 2.04% in after-hours trading, following news that the UK has barred Israeli officials from its biggest defence trade show over the escalation of the war against Hamas in Gaza. The UK's decision to pressure Israel over the conflict has led to Israel's Ministry of Defence deciding not to run its national pavilion at the London's Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) event.
