Palestine Action protestors descended from across the country to protest outside UAV Engines Ltd's Staffordshire factory causing disruption and anxiety for Shenstone residents.
The factory has been targeted for years but comes under more sustained attack when the Israeli Army conducts operations; there were protests in April and this week due to the successful killing of Hamas commanders using killer drones.
The Lynn Lane factory was splattered with red paint by protestors determined to close the business using illegal tactics including blockading the public entrance, trespassing and climbing on the property.
Police were deployed to the factory at 6am on Wednesday and Thursday to "ensure the safety of employees, members of the community and protesters".
Nearly 20 arrests were made on Wednesday and Thursday with several protestors charged with criminal damage amongst other offences, none of those arrested were local.
