Anti-Israel activists from “Palestine Action” raided Elbit Systems’ Ulm facility in Germany, vandalizing equipment and property in a coordinated attack that left hundreds of thousands in damages.
A wave of violent anti-Israel activism struck Europe again this week as members of the radical group “Palestine Action” stormed the Elbit Systems facility in Ulm, Germany, leaving behind a trail of destruction.
According to German media reports, the activists infiltrated the subsidiary offices of Elbit, Israel’s leading defense company, and caused damage worth hundreds of thousands of euros.
Videos released by the group show activists smashing windows, spray-painting anti-Israel graffiti, and wrecking computer equipment and office property.
Police units rushed to the scene, arresting five suspects and sealing off the compound. Authorities also moved quickly to secure another Elbit building in Ulm, fearing a second targeted strike.
This attack comes just days after Elbit was hit at the MSPO defense exhibition in Kielce, Poland, where protesters vandalized its booth by pouring red paint on displays.
In a statement, Elbit Germany condemned the assault:
“We strongly condemn the acts of destruction and vandalism carried out at the company’s site. It is unacceptable that violent groups, apparently under the influence of foreign factors, repeatedly try to disrupt production, endanger employees, and instill fear.”
While no injuries were reported in either incident, the repeated targeting of Elbit’s European operations highlights the growing militancy of anti-Israel protest groups across the continent.
