Pro-Palestine campaigners have carried out a joint graffiti protest on a London and Glasgow office of a company which they claim are linked to Israel.
Palestine Action spray painted Mileway buildings on Tuesday in protest over the business managing factory space for an Israeli arms producer.
Activists across Britain have been campaigning over arms production – which includes military drones and armoured vehicles.
Mileway is thought to be the landlord of the Elbit Systems UAV Engines Ltd (UEL) factory space.
Drones used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, as well as over British waters, are reported to have been made in collaboration with Israel’s Elbit Systems.
Mileway offices saw protesters smash glass and leave messages such as “evict Elbit” and “free Gaza”.
Palestine Action wrote on social media: “Palestine Action hit Mileway at their Glasgow office, as well as in London.
“Mileway are the landlords of an Israeli drone factory in Shenstone.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
A Palestine Action spokesperson said: “The Israeli weapons industry, which is responsible for the massacre of more than 30,000 Palestinians, the destruction of 70 per cent of Gaza and displacement of more than 1.9 million Palestinians in Gaza, is maintained by these same financial institutions which operate across Britain.
“These actions have struck at the heart of this blood-soaked industry, participants in which gladly make millions through their investments in and loans for Israel’s deadly arms trade.”
Pro-Palestine activists have vowed to carry out action this week – calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Just Stop Oil (JSO) joined forces with Palestine protesters as they marched through the streets of London last weekend.

Over 200,000 demonstrators marched through the capital in the first major demonstration of 2024.
Wearing fluorescent orange hi-vis jackets, the eco-activists joined in the action by wielding placards and holding banners as they walked alongside pro-Palestine protesters on Saturday.
The march came just days after the UK and US carried out airstrikes against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen.
