PALESTINE solidarity activists staged protests at three Israeli-owned arms factories in Britain today.
The action marked the anniversary of the 1917 signing of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the way for the Israel’s founding in 1948.
The Elbit Ferranti factory at Oldham, Greater Manchester, and Elbit’s Elite KL factory at Tamworth, Staffordshire, were attacked, damaged and sprayed with red paint in the early hours.
