On Friday, Pro-Palestinian activists claimed responsibility for breaching a Royal Air Force base in central England, vandalizing two military aircraft used for strategic operations.

According to the campaign group Palestine Action, two activists infiltrated Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire, defacing Voyager aircraft with red paint and inflicting further damage using crowbars. A video of the incident circulated on social media, accusing Britain of aiding Israeli military actions contrary to its public stance.
