Police arrested two activists after a pro-Palestine group occupied a facility belonging to Ultra Intelligence & Communications (I&C) in Aberdeen for more than seven hours, according to the group.
People Against Genocide said Sunday that its activists entered the facility and damaged equipment before barricading themselves inside. The group said the action targeted I&C over what it described as the company’s links to Elbit Systems and the ‘Israeli’ military.
Footage shared on social media by The Aftershock, a publisher and media distributor covering pro-Palestine actions, appears to show activists inside the facility and damage to equipment.

People Against Genocide said the Aberdeen facility had previously been targeted, claiming an earlier break-in resulted in the destruction of satellites worth £3 million. The group alleged the equipment was intended for the ‘Israeli’ military.
The latest incident comes amid continued tensions over pro-Palestine activism in the UK following the government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation in July 2025.
Palestine Action has challenged the decision, describing it as an attack on protest and civil resistance. The UK government has maintained that the proscription does not prevent lawful protest in support of Palestine or opposition to the policies of the ‘Israeli’ government.
