Video: Two fighter jets damaged as Pro-Palestinian activists breach UK base
ALBAWABA - It was Friday that two activists from the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action broke into a British Royal Air Force base and damaged two military planes as a protest against the UK's backing for Israeli military activities. Also Read Iran targets key Microsoft research building The accident took place at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, which is one of the biggest military airbases in the UK. The activists painted a Voyager plane red and used crowbars to do more damage, according to a statement from the group. The main things these planes do are refill and carry military supplies. Palestine Action posted a video of the event on social media and said it was a direct protest against Britain's continued military backing for Israel during the war in Gaza. According to Reuters, the group said in a statement, "Even though the UK publicly condemns Israel's actions, it continues to send weapons to Israel, fly surveillance over Gaza, and refuel Israeli and American fighter jets." The group said that the UK government was "not just involved, but actively involved in the genocide in Gaza and in war crimes across the Middle East." اقتحم ناشطون مؤيدون لفلسطين من منظمة فلسطين أكشن قاعدة بريز نورتون الجوية التابعة لسلاح الجو الملكي البريطاني، وهي أكبر قاعدة جوية في المملكة المتحدة، وقاموا بتخريب طائرتين من طراز إيرباص فوييجر للتزود بالوقود - حيث قاموا برش الطلاء الأحمر على المحركات وإتلافها باستخدام العتلات. — Arab-Military (@ashrafnsier) June 20, 2025 Since the fighting in Gaza got worse, Palestine Action has become known for taking direct action against British military companies and institutions with ties to Israel. The group said that the targeted planes, which are Voyagers made by Airbus, can carry military weapons and refuel fighter jets from the UK, the US, and Israel while they are in the air. The UK Ministry of Defense has not yet made a public statement about the leak or how bad the damage is. There is probably a review going on.

VIDEO: Palestine Action activists sabotage UK military aircrafts in protest over Gaza operations
Two military aircraft at RAF Brize Norton, the UK's largest airbase, have been put out of service after being targeted by members of Palestine Action in a direct action aimed at disrupting British involvement in military operations in Gaza and across the region. According to a statement from the activist group, two individuals breached the high-security facility using electric scooters to quickly reach two Airbus Voyager aircraft. Once on site, they sprayed red paint, symbolizing Palestinian blood, into the aircrafts' turbine engines using modified fire extinguishers and caused further damage to the planes with crowbars. Additional paint was sprayed across the runway, and a Palestinian flag was left behind. The activists reportedly left the scene undetected and have not been apprehended. RAF Brize Norton plays a central role in Britain's global military logistics, including daily flights to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Akrotiri is widely reported to serve as a launch point for UK and allied military operations in the Middle East, including support missions for 'Israeli' operations in Gaza. In recent months, Akrotiri has reportedly facilitated hundreds of hours of reconnaissance flights over Gaza. Activists also allege that the base serves as a hub for transferring US and UK military cargo to 'Israel'. The aircraft, Airbus Voyager jets, are capable of refueling British, American, and Israeli fighter jets mid-air and transporting military cargo. The same type of aircraft has previously supported bombing missions in Yemen. In addition, Airbus Atlas transport aircraft, also based at Brize Norton, have reportedly been used to move soldiers and military hardware from Akrotiri to Tel Aviv during the current conflict. Palestine Action points to these logistics as evidence of what it calls Britain's 'active participation' in military actions across the region. A spokesperson for the group said, 'Despite publicly condemning the Israeli government, Britain continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel US/Israeli fighter jets. Britain isn't just complicit, it's an active participant in the Gaza genocide and war crimes across the Middle East."
