A group supporting Palestinians broke into Britain's biggest air force base early Friday morning. The activists damaged two military planes with red paint and crowbars at RAF Brwhile Norton. Palestine Action members filmed their protest against Britain's support for Israel. They left a Palestinian flag behind after escaping the base.
The group claims Britain sends planes daily to Cyprus for military operations. They say these flights help collect information and move weapons to support actions against Gaza. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the attack disgraceful on social media. He praised the armed forces and said Britain must support those who defend the country.
The same group also targeted an office building later that morning. They attacked an Allianz Group office with red paint and broke windows or doors. Palestine Action says Allianz provides insurance to Elbit Systems. This Israeli company makes military technology and weapons on British land.
The activists promised to keep attacking until Allianz stops working with Israel's biggest arms maker. They want to pressure companies that help Israel's military operations. The group uses direct action to protest what they call genocide against Palestinians.
