Pro-Palestinian activists have broken into a Royal Air Force base in central England and claimed to have damaged two military aircraft to protest against the UK governmentโs support for Israelโs war on Gaza.
The campaign group Palestine Action said two members entered the RAF Brize Norton military base in Oxfordshire, spraying paint into the engines of the Voyager aircraft and attacking them with crowbars.
โDespite publicly condemning the Israeli government, Britain continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel U.S./Israeli fighter jets,โ the group said in a statement on Friday, posting a video of the incident on X.โBritain isnโt just complicit, itโs an active participant in the Gaza genocide and war crimes across the Middle East.โ (Aljazeera)
