Palestine supporters created a ruckus in Britain, damaged planes parked at military bases:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Palestine supporters in Britain on Friday (June 20, 2025) broke into a Royal Air Force base in central England, damaged two planes and sprayed them with red paint. Campaign group Palestine Action said two of its activists broke into the Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire. They sprayed paint on the engines of a Voyager aircraft and caused extensive damage.

The group shared a video of the incident on social media platform X, saying, "Despite the Israeli government's public condemnation, the UK continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel US/Israeli fighter planes." The UK Ministry of Defense condemned the incident and said it was working with police to investigate.

What did the Defense Ministry say?

The statement said, "Our armed forces are the best. They risk their lives for us and their display of duty, dedication and selfless personal sacrifice is an inspiration to all of us. It is our responsibility to support those who protect us." At the same time, the police say that they are investigating how these people reached the airbase and what was the reason for the criminal damage?

What is Palestine Action Group?

Palestine Action is one of a group that has repeatedly targeted defense firms and other Israeli-linked companies in Britain since the start of the Gaza conflict. The group says it threw paint on the runway and left a Palestinian flag there.
