Palestine Action occupy roof of a factory supplying arms to Israel

PRODUCTION of weapons for Israel came to a halt at a Yorkshire factory today when activists from Palestine Action occupied the building’s roof.

US-owned Teledyne Defence and Space manufactures components for missiles, electronics, gunsights and munitions for the Israeli military at Shipley, near Bradford.

A Palestine Action statement said: “Breaching security, the activists scaled the factory to take the roof, forcing the site [to close] and rendering it unable to fulfil its shipment of weapons parts to be used in the Gaza genocide.
