Ejection seat firm targeted by pro-Palestine group

Pro-Palestinian activists have admitted to breaking into and vandalizing the headquarters of a company that manufactures aircraft ejection seats. The group claims that the aircraft company, Martin-Baker, located in Buckinghamshire, "is known to supply ejection seats for Israeli F-35 fighter jets."

Thames Valley Police stated that two individuals wearing dark clothing and masks used hammers, crowbars, and spray paint to damage a building in the early hours of Wednesday. The police are currently investigating the incident.

Martin-Baker, located in Denham, has been contacted for comment. Palestine Action claims they smashed office windows with hammers and painted the building red. Thames Valley Police have appealed to witnesses and anyone with information about the incident at Martin-Baker to come forward.

Detective Constable Ben Flaherty said, "We take criminal damage incidents very seriously." The police are working to gather evidence to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
