University of Oxford offices have been sprayed with paint by Palestine Action. 

The group also damaged the ground floor window to the Wellington Square building. 

Palestine Action is a national protest group who describe their aim as “harnessing the strength of the grassroots and directing it towards bringing down Israel’s war machine”.

They have previously targeted Barclays Bank and damaged factories linked to Israeli defence and technology company Elbit Systems.

This comes after last term’s encampments on the lawns of the Oxford National History Museum and the Radcliffe Camera, protesting Oxford University’s ties to Israel. 

In a post on X, the group said: “Students and locals worked with Palestine Action to target Oxford University’s administrative offices.

“The university invest in Israel’s biggest weapons producer, Elbit Systems, amongst other complicit companies. Oxford, it’s time to divest from Elbit.”

A university spokesman said: “The front entrance of the university offices in Wellington Square has been subject to vandalism.

"Oxford University Security Services responded along with Thames Valley Police in the early hours of Monday, October 14.

"The university is working with the police to identify those responsible. The university offices remain open.”
