Three members of People Against Genocide entered the Tring facility early on Monday, November 2, evading security to dismantle military hardware. The protest targeted Ultra I&C due to its direct ties to the Israeli military and its role supplying Elbit Systems subsidiary UAV Tactical Systems. This operation caused extensive internal damage and deliberately coincided with the anniversary of the 1917 Balfour Declaration. Notably, an earlier raid on the same Hertfordshire building resulted in the dismantling of satellites valued by prosecutors at £1.3 million.
