Prisoners for Palestine (PFP), a group that has been supporting the families and friends of the hunger strikers, said the action - which is considered to be largest since the 1981 Irish Republican hunger strike - had achieved a number of victories, with several key demands being met.

Claiming the cancellation of Elbit's contract as a "resounding victory," it warned that the arms company's "days in Britain are numbered".

PFP that in the past few weeks alone 500 people had signed up to take direct action against weapons firms linked to Israel's genocidal war in Gaza, which it said was "more than the amount of people who took action with Palestine Action over its five-year campaign".
