A spokesman for the group said: “Britain is now a hostile environment for all companies involved in brutalizing and killing Palestinians.
“Elbit Systems is one such company, but Teledyne Technologies is another major player.
“They supply surveillance equipment for Israel’s apartheid wall and targeting systems for their fleet of combat drones.
“Dealing with the imperialist hydra means cutting off all its heads, so we will shut down every company complicit in the continued colonization of Palestine.”
A spokesman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “A large number of officers are currently at an industrial site in Presteigne where there is an ongoing protest.
There is damage to a building and there are people on the roof. Officers are working to get them down safely.
“Two people have been arrested.
The disruption comes after the group disrupted the techUK Defense Winter Dinner just last night.
Five activists walked into London’s Landmark Hotel and grabbed the microphone to broadcast their group’s pro-Palestinian message.
Palestine Action describes itself as “a network of groups and individuals set up to take direct action against properties owned by Israel’s largest arms company, Elbit Systems. The mission is to shut down Elbit and end any British complicity in the illegal colonization of Palestine”.
Elbit Systems and Teledyne Technologies were reached for comment.
