Protesters from Palestine Action, a group the government wants to reclassify as a terrorist organisation, have blocked the entrance of a defence company. A spokesperson for the group said two activists were "disrupting" operations at Elbit Systems in north Bristol on Tuesday,

British lawmakers voted on Wednesday (July 2) to ban pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, after its activists broke into a military base and damaged two planes in protest at what it says is Britain's support for Israel. Laila Shahrokhshahi reports.

Palestine Action claims to have blockaded the UK headquarters of an Israeli defence company in Bristol, as the group faces an imminent ban under anti-terror legislation. Activists with the direct action group blocked the sole entrance to Elbit Systems on Tuesday, covering it in red paint "to symbolise Palestinian bloodshed", a spokesperson said.
