A SWARM of pro-Palestinian protesters caused nearly £1million worth of damage to military equipment which had been earmarked for Ukraine.

Some 150 dim-witted activists wielding hammers and spray paint went on a warehouse rampage – reportedly causing severe damage to several tanks.

They raided hangars and smashed up computers at the facility in Belgium owned by OIP Land Systems – who produce military equipment for Ukraine.

But the idiotic protesters, dressed in white overalls and masks, wrongly believed that the equipment was being shipped to Israel, 7sur7 reported.

Taking part in the Stop Arming Israel campaign, they first broke into and ransacked the warehouse’s offices in Tournai.

The dopey demonstrators then headed for the storage units before vandalising the facility and the critical equipment inside it.

They brought along disc cutters and hammers during the frenzy on Monday which “severely damaged some vehicles”, the firm’s CEO Freddy Verslyus said.

He branded the group of vandals “Hamas sympathisers”.

The upcoming delivery of military aid, intended to support Volodymyr Zelensky in resisting Russia’s relentless invasion, has been postponed.

OIP Land Systems specialises in the maintenance, repair, and modernisation of military vehicles.

Since the Vladimir Putin’s bloody invasion, the company has already delivered around 260 armoured vehicles to the Ukrainian army.

Versluys said: “The next delivery is now delayed by at least a month.

“That’s all these Hamas sympathisers will have achieved with their actions.”

The fuming CEO also announced his intention to file a complaint against unknown parties following the huge £1million damage bill.

The military company was reportedly targeted by the protesters because it is owned by Israeli defence company Elbit Systems.

The activists reportedly believe that Elbit supplies 85 per cent of the Israel Defence Force’s drones, and most of their ground military equipment.

However, the demonstrators were shocked when the company’s CEO stated that the firm had not manufactured defense systems for Israel in more than two decades.

At least 30 people were arrested following the embarrassing raid, Stop Arming Israel said.

Tournai police arrived to the scene supported by Borinage cops who also came with riot control vehicles.

A helicopter was also scrambled during the mindless rampage.

Some activists fled to neighbouring villages in order to escape, before being chased down by cops.

OIP Land Systems has provided defence products to Ukraine on several occasions.

The military equipment provided includes Leopard 1 tanks, which are manufactured at the Tournai plant.

It comes after two pro-Palestine activists broke into an RAF base and vandalised two planes in a “grotesque” breach of security.

The men were seen breaking into RAF Brize Norton in a video shared online by group Palestine Action.

The UK’s defence ministry slammed the “vandalism of Royal Air Force assets” in a scathing statement.
