Pro-Palestinian Activists Breach Security at Britain's Largest Air Force Base

Activists from Palestine Action vandalize military aircraft at R.A.F. Brize Norton to protest UK’s support for Israel.


In a bold act of defiance, pro-Palestinian activists have targeted Britain’s largest air force base, raising concerns about security and political implications.



In an unprecedented act, members of the group Palestine Action infiltrated R.A.F. Brize Norton on Friday morning, which houses a significant number of military personnel and supports various overseas operations for the UK. Using electric scooters, two activists managed to evade security measures and create a scene that highlights their discontent regarding Britain’s military assistance to Israel.

The activists reportedly sprayed red paint into the turbine engines of two military aircraft, identified as Airbus Voyagers, along with marking the runway with red paint to symbolize what they described as “Palestinian bloodshed.” They also utilized crowbars to inflict damage on the planes. The group publicly shared video footage of the incident, emphasizing their intent to draw attention to their cause.

Local police, Thames Valley Police, have confirmed that they are collaborating with the Ministry of Defense and the R.A.F. to conduct a thorough investigation, with officers actively seeking to apprehend those involved in the vandalism. The Ministry of Defense condemned the incident, stating their cooperation with the police and the ongoing inquiries to ensure security at the base.

R.A.F. Brize Norton plays a crucial role in Britain’s military strategy, housing approximately 5,800 service personnel and facilitating rapid global mobility for the UK’s overseas operations. As the investigation continues, questions arise regarding the implications of this breach and the potential reviews of security protocols at military installations across the country.

This situation is developing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
