Protest group Palestine Action has targeted 10 Allianz offices across the UK over the insurer’s alleged involvement with Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.

Offices in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and other cities have seen windows smashed, Palestinian flags hung and red paint sprayed across facades by the protestors.

In a statement, the group also added that it was occupying the insurer’s Guildford-based headquarters.

Palestine Action have said the insurer is a major financial backer of Israel’s arms and weapons industry and described Allianz as one of Elbit System’s “principle institutional shareholders”.

Elbit Systems manufactures over 85% of Israel’s drones, including quadcopters used by the country’s military to perform targeted military operations.
