Palestine supporters in Britain on Friday (June 20, 2025) broke into a Royal Air Force base in central England, vandalised two aircraft and sprayed them with red paint. Campaign group Palestine Action said two of its activists broke into the Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire, spraying paint on the Voyager aircraft’s engines and causing extensive damage.
This group shared a video of the incident on social media platform X and said “Despite publicly condemning the Israeli government, the UK continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel US/Israeli fighter planes.” Britain’s Defence Ministry condemned the incident and said it was working with police to investigate.

Palestine Action is one of a group that has repeatedly targeted defense firms and other Israeli-linked companies in Britain since the start of the Gaza conflict. The group says it threw paint on the runway and left a Palestinian flag there.
