A British jury has convicted four members of the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action of criminal damage following a 2024 break-in at the Bristol facility of Israeli defence company Elbit Systems (a major Israeli defence technology firm with around 20,000 staff and $2 billion in annual revenues). Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Rajwani were found guilty at London's Woolwich Crown Court of destroying equipment with sledgehammers and crowbars during the August 2024 raid, which caused an estimated £1 million ($1.36m) in damage; Corner was additionally convicted of inflicting grievous bodily harm after he struck a police officer with a sledgehammer. Two other defendants, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin, were acquitted — a result that follows an earlier trial in which all six had been cleared of aggravated burglary but a jury failed to reach verdicts on the criminal damage charges, making Tuesday's ruling the first convictions in the protracted case.
