Palestine Action 'breaks into RAF Brize Norton and damages aircraft
Posted: 20th June 2025
Palestine Action claims it has broken into RAF Brize Norton and damaged two military aircraft.
The unverified claims have been posted on X this morning. A video shows an unknown person scooting up to an aircraft and spraying a substance onto it. The person is then seen to be scooting away into the darkness.
The official Palestine Action social media account said: “Not only did actionists manage to break into Britain’s largest air force base, they also escaped undetected. Ordinary people can take direct action to intervene in the genocide.
“Flights depart daily from the base to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. From Cyprus, British planes collect intelligence, refuel fighter jets and transport weapons to commit genocide in Gaza.”

A security review has been launched after a breach at an RAF base in Oxfordshire, which has been condemned as “absolutely staggering”.
Pro-Palestinian activists targeted RAF Brize Norton and damaged two military aircraft – with Sir Keir Starmer describing their actions as “disgraceful”.
Downing Street has now confirmed security is being reviewed across the “whole defence estate” – but stressed the incident did not disrupt any operations.
A spokesman said: “We treat all breaches of security very seriously, and where there is suspected criminal activity, we will take the necessary steps to investigate and prosecute in line with longstanding principle.”
