Pro-Palestinian protesters have occupied the Allianz building in London, just days after the group flew drone carrying a Palestinian flag above Twickenham Stadium during a Six Nations game.

The group doused the building of the insurance company in red paint "to represent the bloodshed of Palestinian people and Allianz’ role in the genocide in Gaza".

A spokesperson for Palestine Action said: “By providing insurance, Allianz is directly enabling the production of Israeli weapons in Britain which are "battle-tested" on Palestinians.

"As all companies who work with Elbit should know by now, Palestine Action's direct action campaign against them will not cease until their links with the Israeli weapons trade does. Allianz must drop Elbit."

The group has targeted the company's London office

It is not the first demonstration against Allianz, with the activists launching attacks on the German firm offices in January.
