The Palestine Action activist group targeted Elbit Systems yet again, in a bid to stop the UK from granting contracts to the Israeli weapons manufacturer.

Pro-Palestine protesters have stormed the headquarters building of Elbit Systems in Bristol, United Kingdom, on Saturday, marking the 17th time activists have targeted the Israeli manufacturer's HQ in the UK since the war on Gaza.

A video shows the protesters atop the cherry picker and breaking windows on the top of the Elbit Systems HQ building, while one of them was shouting: “We will never stop... until the war machine and terrorist state is dismantled window by window, brick by brick, wall by wall, roof by roof.”

A Palestine Action spokesperson stated that Elbit Systems has been profiting from the Israeli wars on Gaza and the West Bank, adding that "while Elbit weaponry is used for massacres, 20 Palestine Action members, including the Filton18, are imprisoned without trial."

Previously, Palestine Action activists targeted the Allianz City of London offices over alleged ties to Elbit Systems, scaling the building and unfurling a flag that read "Drop Elbit" while spraying red paint over the premises.

Palestine Action maintains that since "Israel" unleashed its war on Gaza in October 2023, Elbit Systems has secured at least 24 export licenses for arms sales to the Israeli government, with a Palestine Action spokesperson saying, "Elbit, [Prime Minister Sir Keir] Starmer, and those facilitating war crimes are the criminals—not those taking action to stop the slaughter in Palestine.”

Palestine Action targets parties complicit with 'Israel'

US President Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland has been defaced with pro-Palestinian slogans as Palestine Action claimed responsibility, with local media reporting on March 8 that red paint had been smeared across the course’s walls alongside phrases such as “Free Gaza” and “Free Palestine,” as well as insults directed at Trump, while on one of the lawns, the message “Gaza is not for sale” had been sprawled.

Claiming responsibility for the damage, the group wrote on X: "Whilst Trump attempts to treat Gaza as his property, he should know his own property is within reach."

Palestine Action reported that its activists targeted the BBC headquarters in Portland Place, London, early on February 17, splattering blood-red paint across the outer ground floor and smashing windows.

The group accused the BBC of downplaying Israeli war crimes and failing to amplify Palestinian voices, emphasizing that this stance renders the broadcaster complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In March of 2024, Palestine Action forced Elbit Systems, the largest Israeli arms company, to permanently close its Elite KL factory in Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK, making it the third Elbit Systems site to be forced to permanently shut down in Britain.
