Palestine Action said its activists occupied the rooftop of an Elbit Systems subcontractor as well as blockading the entrance to the arms manufacturer’s UK headquarters in Bristol.

The direct-action group said the occupation “successfully halted operations at Guardtech”, a subcontractor which it said “provides essential clean room services” to Instro Precision, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.

The group published footage on X of its activists blockading the only entrance to the company’s Bristol headquarters.

“Just a reminder we, Palestine Action, we are not the terrorists,” an activist said in the video.

„Elbit are the real terrorists”.
