Palestine Action activists jailed for Israeli firm raid

A UK court has handed jail sentences to four activists from the Palestinian Action group on “terror” charges after they were convicted for a raid on an Israeli arms company.

Seventy-two people have been arrested for supporting the proscribed terror group Palestine Action at a demonstration outside Woolwich Crown Court.

Mr Justice Johnson made the ruling at a sentencing hearing on Friday for Samuel Corner, 23, Charlotte Head, 30, Leona Kamio, 30, and Fatema Rajwani, 21, who were all found guilty of criminal damage last month in relation to a 2024 break-in at the Elbit Systems UK site in Gloucestershire.

Woolwich Court Court heard earlier about £1.2m worth of property was damaged during the break-in at Elbit Systems.
