THREE Palestine supporters were arrested today after driving a van through the gates of a Merseyside factory which makes parts for F-35 warplanes used in Israel’s war on Gaza.

The Palestine Action direct action group said production was halted at the Teledyne factory in Bromborough in Wirral in Merseyside when activists raided the site and sprayed red paint.

Teledyne is based in the US and has factories in Canada and Europe, including Britain.
