TL;DR

A Woolwich Crown Court in the UK jailed four Palestine Action activists for five to eight years after some were convicted of criminal damage and GBH in a 2024 raid on the Israeli arms maker Elbit Systems; the judge described the act as terrorism, a label supporters dispute, arguing the protest aimed to stop weapons used in Gaza, as debates over Palestine Action’s ban and government policy continue outside the court.
