Pro-Palestinian activists break into UK’s largest air base

LONDON: Pro-Palestinian activists broke into the UK´s largest air force base in southeast England and vandalised two planes in an act condemned by Prime Minister Keir Starmer as “disgraceful” on Friday.

“The act of vandalism committed at RAF Brize Norton is disgraceful,” Starmer said on X after campaign group Palestine Action posted a video claiming to show its activist breaking into the Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire.

In the video posted on X, the activists appear to spray a plane with red paint while roaming the base on scooters.

“Palestine Action break into RAF Brize Norton and damage two military aircrafts,” claimed the group, which has been behind several stunts protesting the UK´s role in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
