At least 72 people were arrested outside a London courthouse during the trial of four pro-Palestinian activists accused of breaking into and vandalizing an Elbit Systems factory in Bristol in August 2024, according to N12's Asaf Rozentzweig.
The arrests occurred outside a London courthouse where four pro-Palestinian activists are on trial for allegedly breaking into and vandalizing an Elbit Systems factory in Bristol in August 2024, as reported by N12's Asaf Rozentzweig. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding Israel-linked defense industry sites in the UK, with activists targeting Elbit—Israel's largest private defense contractor—as a protest against Israeli military operations. The number of those detained, at least 72, suggests a significant police operation outside the court. No further details on charges or identities of those arrested have been released.
