Six pro-Palestinian activists armed with sledgehammers attacked an Israeli-linked defence firm, with one striking a female police officer twice with his weapon, a court has heard.
Opening the trial at Woolwich crown court on Tuesday, the prosecutor, Deanna Heer KC, said the defendants were involved in a “meticulously organised” operation by Palestine Action at the Elbit Systems factory in Filton, near Bristol, on 6 August last year.
