Six individuals are on trial in the United Kingdom after allegedly breaking into the Bristol site of Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems and causing over £1 million in damage. The accused face charges including aggravated burglary, criminal damage, and violent disorder, with one defendant facing an additional charge related to harm against a police officer. The trial, which began at Woolwich Crown Court, is expected to last ten weeks and has drawn public attention, with supporters and protesters gathering outside the courthouse. The incident is part of a broader pattern of protests and actions against Elbit Systems in several countries, with activists targeting the company over its role in supplying weapons used in conflict zones.
