Palestine Action is a pro-Palestinian protest network that uses direct action tactics to shut down and disrupt multinational arms dealers. The group targets UK-based operations that provide weapons used in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Its main targets are UK factories of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. In their campaigns, Palestine Action have used protest, occupation of premises and alleged criminal damage, destruction of property and vandalism, which has sometimes resulted in its members being arrested.
