ACTIVISTS have shut down an Israeli arms factory for a second day after three arrests were made on Monday. 

Five protesters from the Palestine Action network scaled the UAV Engines site in Shenstone, Staffordshire, in the early hours of Monday morning while three others locked onto the gates. 

The factory, owned by Israel’s largest private arms firm Elbit Systems, makes parts for military drones which campaigners claim are used by the Israeli army to bomb civilians in Gaza.
