Pro-Palestinian riots erupt near Israeli weapons manufacturer in UK  

A number of pro-Palestinian activists rioted this morning (Thursday) near the military munitions manufacturing plant of the Israeli company Elbit Systems in the United Kingdom. They were protesting its activities suppying military equipment to Israel.

The rioters wore red overalls and recorded themselves near the fence throwing paint cans at the building and smashing them. In addition, they shouted anti-Israel slogans calling for the "liberation of Palestine".

In recent months, since the beginning of the war on October 7, the plant has suffered many demonstrations and much harassment by pro-Palestinian organizations. About a month ago, the rioters even broke into the factory, vandalized equipment and caused a significant amount of damage.
