PALESTINE ACTION activists shut down a factory today that is known to supply crucial parts for warplanes being used in Israel’s Gaza genocide.

They climbed onto the roof of Teledyne CML Composites in Bromborough on the Wirral, cut holes into it and sprayed blood-red paint into the factory.

Parent company Teledyne Technologies is the single-largest exporter of weaponry from Britain to Israel.

CML Composites specialises in components for the F-35 fighter jet, which Israel has used to drop 2,000lb bombs on Gaza. 

Activists from the group previously targeted the site in July, driving a van through the factory gates before drenching it in red paint.

Its sister site, Teledyne Defence and Space in Shipley, was occupied in April, which prevented the manufacture of military electronics bound for Israel. 

Last month, a jury at Bradford Crown Court refused to convict the activists of causing criminal damage over their action in Shipley.
