FIVE activists occupying an Israeli-owned arms factory were arrested this morning, bringing the three-day protest to an end. 

The protesters, who are part of the Palestine Action group, scaled UAV Engines in Shenstone, Staffordshire on Monday morning, holding out on the roof until police moved in to arrest them at 2am today. 

Activists were demanding that the factory stop producing drone parts used by the Israeli army.
