**Four Arrested After Protest at Defence Company**
A protest by Palestine Action at a defence company’s facility in the UK has led to four arrests. The protesters used a cherry-picker style vehicle and a rope attached to a hammer to cause damage.
The protest targeted Elbit Systems UK, a company that provides technology for the military. The protesters claimed they were trying to “damage the operational hub” of the company.
Police confirmed that three people arrested were from outside the Avon and Somerset area where the protest took place. They are still in custody.
The protest is not the first time Palestine Action has targeted Elbit Systems UK. In August, 18 people were arrested after a similar protest at another facility owned by the company.
