Two members of a pro-Palestine group broke into RAF Brize Norton and damaged two aircraft, Palestine Action has claimed. In footage posted on social media, the group claims to have entered the base in Oxfordshire and to have escaped undetected overnight. It wrote on X: "Palestine Action break into RAF Brize Norton and damage two military aircrafts.

“Flights depart daily from the base to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. From Cyprus, British planes collect intelligence, refuel fighter jets and transport weapons to commit genocide in Gaza. Not only did actionists manage to break into Britain’s largest air force base… they also escaped undetected. Ordinary people can take direct action to intervene in the genocide.”

The Ministry of Defence has been approached for comment.
