Palestine activists arrested after halting production at Yorkshire weapons factory

FOUR Palestine Action activists have been arrested after bringing production to a halt at a Yorkshire factory helping arm Israel with weapons used in the genocide in Gaza.

The four activists scaled the wall of the US-owned Teledyne Defence and Space factory at Shipley, near Bradford in West Yorkshire on Tuesday.

A crowd of supporters gathered outside the factory as the activists used a sledgehammer and pickaxe to wreck the roof of the building, causing extensive damage.
