PALESTINE ACTION shut down the Bristol headquarters of a weapons system manufacturer today to disrupt the supply of arms to Israel.

Four activists attached themselves to each other to prevent any entry to the Aztec West site, where Elbit Systems oversees its operations in Britain.

Last year, members of the group broke into the building to mark 74 years since the 1948 Nakba (catastrophe), in which thousands of Palestinians were killed and hundreds of thousands displaced as the state of Israel was established.
