Hundreds of campaigners have staged protests outside a number of defence factories in the latest demonstration against arms being sent to Israel.
The campaign group Workers for a Free Palestine said it had blockaded sites in Bournemouth, Glasgow, Brighton and Lancashire, some of which are operated by defence giant BAE Systems.
The demonstrators are urging BAE and other companies to end their ties with Israel and cease all weapons, defence and supplies trading with them.
They are also calling on the UK Government to back a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and are calling for an end to the occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
