Protesters have locked themselves together and set off red smoke flares after throwing paint outside the offices of a defence company in London.
Two campaigners from Palestine Action were spotted lying on the floor outside French weapons maker Thales, which provides a wide range of weapons to Israel.
The latest protest comes as tensions grow ahead of Saturday when thousands of pro-Palestine protesters are expected to take to the streets of London on Armistice Day.
Footage shared online shows the pair shouting pro-Palestine slogans after locking themselves together.

In a statement, Palestine Action said: “At 7am, before workers could enter the London offices of Thales' weapons firm, two activists from Palestine Action attached themselves to each other using lock-on devices, preventing all access to the Quadrant.
“The premises were also drenched with red paint using repurposed fire extinguishers, symbolising the bloodshed of the Palestinian people.
“On the day of the international call to action under the 'Shut It Down for Palestine' banner, Palestine Action have this morning acted on that call.
“As ever, these activists have put their liberty on the line, using direct action to respond to Palestinian pleas for the world to stop supplying arms to, and to reject complicity with, Israel's apartheid regime.”
