Palestine Action activists arrested after breaking into Elbit Systems' Bristol site

SIX pro-Palestine activists were arrested after smashing their way into a key Elbit Systems manufacturing hub in Bristol this morning and damaging weaponry held there.

Members of Palestine Action used a prison van to break through the outer perimeter of the site and the building’s roller shutters.

Once six were inside, they began damaging what they found, including machinery and Israeli quadcopter drones, said the group.
