Four activists who identify themselves as "Martyrs of Palestine for Justice" stormed the Moog aircraft manufacturing plant in Wolverhampton, UK. The activists used a car to ram the factory gate, then climbed onto the roof of one of the buildings, causing production to halt.
The group announced that their goal is to stop production related to the armament programs of the Israeli occupation, and the four were arrested by British police on suspicion of damaging private property. The police confirmed that they have opened an investigation into the incident.
The choice of the factory was due to its involvement in supplying aviation components used in the training and operation of F-16 and F-35 fighters that are part of the occupation's armament system. The activists declared through video clips that they had "halted the production lines" inside the factory.
Moog has not issued any official comment on the incident, but local ITV reported that work at the site resumed hours after the protesters were removed from the roof. The operation caused "significant damage" to glass roofs and solar panels within the industrial complex.
Circulating images showed the activists wearing shirts bearing the images of Palestinian martyrs, reflecting their connection to the Palestinian cause. The British police confirmed that the investigation is still ongoing and urged the public to stay away from the site until the procedures are completed.
Moog is specialized in motion control systems for civil and military aircraft, and it has a manufacturing site in Wolverhampton. Media and human rights reports link British supply chains to components of the F-35 program, complicating the tracking of the destination of these components.
The British government relied on this complexity to exempt F-35 components from some export license suspension decisions last year, and the Supreme Court upheld this approach in a recent ruling.
In a related context, the European Commission confirmed that the Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, which resulted in the martyrdom of 20 people, is "absolutely unacceptable." The spokesperson for the Commission called for the protection of civilians and journalists under international law.
Civilians and journalists must be protected under international law... civilians in Gaza have been suffering for a very long time.
