British prosecutors have announced plans to seek a retrial for six anti-Israel activists who were recently acquitted of aggravated burglary charges following an attack on the Elbit Systems facility in Filton. The incident, which caused significant property damage and left a police officer injured, has sparked renewed calls from political figures and police representatives for further legal action. The Crown Prosecution Service is currently reviewing the legal grounds for new proceedings, with a hearing scheduled for February.

The activists, affiliated with Palestine Action, admitted to targeting the factory as part of their campaign against British involvement with Israel, but denied intent to harm individuals. The group has been involved in several high-profile protests and actions, including vandalism and theft at academic institutions. The British government recently designated Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, a decision the group is contesting in court.
