He branded the group of vandals "Hamas sympathisers". The next shipment of military aid which - was reserved specifically to help Volodymyr Zelensky fend off Russia's meatgrinder invasion - has now been delayed. OIP Land Systems specialises in the maintenance, repair, and modernisation of military vehicles. Since the Vladimir Putin's bloody invasion, the company has already delivered around 260 armoured vehicles to the Ukrainian army. Versluys said: "The next delivery is now delayed by at least a month. Vladimir Putin rages 'all of Ukraine is ours' as he threatens to seize key city while Kyiv slams tyrant as 'deranged' "That's all these Hamas sympathisers will have achieved with their actions." The fuming CEO also announced his intention to file a complaint against unknown parties following the huge £1million damage bill. The military company was reportedly targeted by the protesters because it is owned by Israeli defence company Elbit Systems. The activists reportedly believe that Elbit supplies 85 per cent of the Israel Defence Force's drones, and most of their ground military equipment. But the raging protesters were left mortified after the firm's CEO claimed that his company had not produced defence systems for Israel in over 20 years. At least 30 people were arrested following the embarrassing raid, Stop Arming Israel said. Tournai police arrived to the scene supported by Borinage cops who also came with riot control vehicles. A helicopter was also scrambled during the mindless rampage. Some activists fled to neighbouring villages in order to escape, before being chased down by cops. OIP Land Systems has provided defence products to Ukraine on several occasions. The military equipment provided includes Leopard 1 tanks, which are manufactured at the Tournai plant. It comes after two pro-Palestine activists broke into an RAF base and vandalised two planes in a "grotesque" breach of security. The men were seen breaking into RAF Brize Norton in a video shared online by group Palestine Action. The UK's defence ministry slammed the "vandalism of Royal Air Force assets" in a scathing statement.

Palestine Action's next military targets explained in organiser's video
Palestine Action is planning a wave of action across Britain after breaking into RAF Brize Norton and damaging military aircraft, an investigation has revealed Pro-Palestine organisation, Palestine Action, is orchestrating a nationwide wave of protests against British military sites and defence companies, an investigation by The Telegraph has discovered. The group recently infiltrated RAF Brize Norton and vandalised several military aircraft. An undercover probe has since unveiled their future targets, discussed in a private meeting. With the group's imminent banning as a terrorist organisation in the works, they have stepped up efforts to enlist new members. At the secret gathering, organisers explained how the group's supporters come from diverse backgrounds - ranging from "nursery teachers to surgeons", with ages spanning from 18 to 80. Members brainstormed various methods of disrupting the targeted facilities, including trespassing onto factory premises. They were also schooled on creating autonomous cells capable of launching action on airbases without being caught, reports the Express. Meeting materials shared among attendees singled out RAF Cranwell and RAF Barkston Heath in Lincolnshire, as well as RAF Valley in Anglesey, North Wales, as primary targets. Additionally, a Leicester-based drone manufacturing facility, as well as various defence contractors accused of shipping arms to Israel, were pinpointed as potential flashpoints. The Telegraph confirmed that The Ministry of Defence and law enforcement agencies had been notified of the group's plans for imminent action. An alert was previously sounded after members of Palestine Action infiltrated RAF Brize Norton, dousing two aeroplanes in red paint and potentially causing damage worth millions, setting off a sweeping security assessment. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned the incursion as "disgraceful" and has signalled intentions to prescribe the organisation. Undeterred, Palestine Action asserts it will mount a legal fight against the proscription. Meanwhile, the group is running intense recruitment sessions, aiming to bolster its network of autonomous cells. The trio of RAF bases that have been identified all have connections with Elbit Systems UK, a defence firm that has been repeatedly singled out by Palestine Action. Notably, RAF Cranwell holds the distinction of being the initial Air Academy globally, Barkston Heath aids in flying instruction, and RAF Valley is pivotal for training upcoming fighter pilots. The list of potential targets includes UAV Tactical Systems, a drone company partially owned by Elbit. A report from an online "direct action workshop," obtained by our source reveals that a female activist exhorted approximately 50 aspiring members about the need to make personal "sacrifices" in support of their cause. She spoke of the group spearheading an emerging wave of persistent assaults. The leader denouncing the government's move to outlaw the group described it as "draconian and dangerous." Participants were instructed to download the encrypted messaging app Signal and await anonymous directives from the organisers. Recruits would be organised into independent cells to devise their own strategies. This cell-based structure is intended to protect leaders from legal repercussions, a strategy also employed by movements such as Extinction Rebellion. New members were sternly cautioned to never disclose details of upcoming actions or the identities of fellow participants. "We do not provide police with any information that may compromise activists, actions or the movement... cause comes first," the organiser informed the group. A Ministry of Defence spokesperson commented: "The UK's defence estate is vital to our national security and this government will not tolerate those who put that security at risk. "This Government is taking the strong step of proscribing Palestine Action due to its activities, which are a threat to our national security." A North Wales Police spokesperson stated: "Our officers continue to liaise with MoD staff in relation to security matters at RAF Valley, Anglesey. "The emergence of potential threats to the site is recognised, with the need for additional policing and security patrols kept under regular review."

Pro-Palestine protester dressed as Holocaust victim goes unchallenged by Met cops — amid claims of two-tier policing
Labour Against Antisemitism also slammed the outfit for 'appropriating and distorting the Holocaust' NO ACTION Pro-Palestine protester dressed as Holocaust victim goes unchallenged by Met cops — amid claims of two-tier policing Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PROTESTER dressed as a Holocaust victim goes unchallenged by Met cops — amid claims of two-tier policing. Maria Gallastegui sparked outrage by wearing a concentration camp-style uniform - swapping the yellow star for an Islamic symbol - at a Westminster demo. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 While ignoring the sick Holocaust stunt, it's claimed officers warned men waving Israeli flags Credit: Alamy 2 Cops look away and take no action against a protester dressed as a Holocaust victim - sparking claims of two-tier policing Credit: Alamy Jewish leaders and MPs hit out at the Met, claiming officers warned men waving Israeli flags they could breach the peace but ignored Ms Gallastegui's stunt. It comes after a man was prosecuted for burning a Koran in London, fuelling claims of 'double standards' in policing. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: 'We appear to have a two-tier blasphemy law in this country, which protects Islam from offensive references but not others.' Labour Against Antisemitism also slammed the outfit for 'appropriating and distorting the Holocaust.' The group said it 'was clearly designed to cause distress'. They have written to Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley demanding action over the protest outside Parliament. Ms Gallastegui, 66, defended herself, saying: 'This is a history lesson for now, and by no means is it meant to be anti-Semitic. Changing the symbols of the yellow star to the crescent and star is simply to illustrate that point.'
