In Germany, five members of the direct action group Palestine Action on Monday broke into a weapons factory operated by Elbit Systems, a major supplier to Israel’s military. Video released by Palestine Action shows an activist using a crowbar to pry open a door; the activists are then seen smashing equipment and spray-painting graffiti denouncing Israel’s assault on Gaza. Nobody was injured during the group’s acts of sabotage, and police ultimately arrested all five without resistance. Palestine Action later published a video by a member claiming responsibility.

Leandra: “My name is Leandra. And you are watching this video, because last night I took action against Elbit Systems in Ulm, Germany. … This criminal corporation makes millions of dollars year after year, especially since 2014, out of the extermination of the Indigenous people of Palestine and the occupation of their land. Most of the drones bombing the hell out of Gaza are being made by Elbit Systems. The surveillance systems of the walls that made Gaza an open-air prison and the humanitarian aid blockade possible are made by Elbit Systems.”

The action by Palestine Action Germany came after British police arrested nearly 900 people Saturday at a protest in London against the U.K. government’s ban on Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act. On Monday, the artist Banksy took credit for a mural that appeared on the Royal Courts of Justice depicting a British judge in a wig using a gavel to attack a man lying on the ground and holding a sign spattered in blood. Guards later covered the mural in black plastic; authorities say it will be removed.
