PARENTS pushing baby-buggies stormed the offices of arms manufacturer British Aerospace today and released 100 black balloons – each one representing 100 children killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.

The protest came as tens of thousands prepared to gather in London tomorrow for the capital’s fifth national demonstration demanding a ceasefire, alongside many more demos across Britain.

The BAE Systems protest was held by Parents for Palestine, which was launched soon after Israel began its murderous attack on Gaza, an assault believed to have so far left 13,000 civilians dead and more lying beneath the ruins of homes and schools.
