Footage has emerged from Royal Air Force Brize Norton base showing two Voyager aircraft vandalized by activists from the group Palestine Action. The incident, which took place earlier today, involved the use of spray paint and crowbars to deface the aircraft, part of the UK’s aerial refueling and transport fleet.
Palestine Action, known for its high-profile direct actions targeting British defense infrastructure, claimed responsibility for the protest. Members of the group breached the perimeter of the Oxfordshire base and proceeded to damage the military assets as part of a broader campaign to pressure the UK government over its ties to Israel.

In a statement released shortly after the footage went public, Palestine Action accused the Royal Air Force of being complicit in what they termed “the support of Israel’s military campaign.” The group said the action was intended to disrupt operations they believe contribute to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Authorities have since secured the area, and military police have launched a formal investigation into the security breach. No injuries were reported, though the extent of the damage to the aircraft has not been fully disclosed.
RAF Brize Norton is one of the UK’s most critical military airbases, serving as a hub for personnel transport, humanitarian missions, and strategic air refueling. The incident raises new concerns over base security and the growing use of direct action by activist groups.
