ACTIVISTS from Palestine Action who targeted an Israeli weapons firm will stand trial next year, it was confirmed today.

The 10 activists attacked a research and manufacturing site in Filton, near Bristol, belonging to Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest weapons firm, on August 6. 

Some activists reportedly broke in and damaged weaponry inside the hub, while another group driving a repurposed prison van smashed through the outer perimeter of the building, and then damaged machinery and drones inside.
