PALESTINE supporters have shut down a UK arms factory supplying weapons to Israel following its ongoing attacks on the people of Gaza.

Activists from Palestine Action blockaded both entrances at Lockheed Martin’s Ampthill factory in Bedford today and chained themselves to vehicles blockading the site.

The blockade was backed by a demonstration and the factory was sprayed with red paint symbolising the blood of Palestinians shed during Israel’s slaughter in Gaza and more killings in the Palestinian West Bank.
