Pro-Palestinian protesters trash defense supplier, target logistics firm in UK

The group's online posts framed the incident as a form of direct action against military supply chains and described themselves as a “group taking direct action to stop the UK-Israel weapons trade.“

Activist group People Against Genocide staged a vandalism incident at Ultra Intelligence and Communications facility in Aberdeen, Scotland. At approximately 3:00 a.m., the activists entered the building, smashed windows, overturned furniture, and left messages on walls and equipment. They claimed that Ultra I&C supplies military hardware and technology to Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems and the Israeli military directly. Following the incident, two individuals were arrested and charged with the break-in.

In a separate incident, the same activist group targeted logistics firm DSV in Doncaster, England. The group claimed responsibility for the vandalism, stating that they had taken action against DSV dozens of times, as it transports weapons for Israel's biggest arms maker, Elbit Systems. The Doncaster incident involved striking glass doors and entryways with a hammer, resulting in shattered panels.

Police launched an investigation, including CCTV checks, after receiving reports of criminal damage and graffiti on the premises.
