In 2023 four Palestinian solidarity activists in Wales took direct action against Teledyne for its supply to Israel. Two dismantled military equipment from the inside of the factory, whilst the others occupied the roof. In total, it’s alleged the four damaged over £1.2million worth of equipment belonging to the firm, severely disrupting the production of weaponry. They smashed windows, daubed red paint on walls drilled holes in the roof and used crowbars to destroy the office. The factory was closed for about 3 weeks as a result. ⁵⁾
