Police have launched an investigation after a group of activists connected to the Palestine Action group attempted to enter the offices of an Israeli company in central London and then daubed slogans inside and outside the building before leaving.
At least four activists attempted to storm the London headquarters of Elbit – an Israeli defence and security manufacturer – last Friday. They filmed themselves attempting to barge past security guards to reach the firm’s offices on the sixth floor of the building.
Footage uploaded to a left-wing website showed the activists, who included three women, entering the building in Kingsway and screaming slogans such as “Your profits are covered in Palestinian blood.”
One of the women attempted to get into a lift, but was escorted out of the building – but not before she had got out a spray can and begun to graffiti the reception area.
