Arms Facility Linked to Israel Catches Fire in EU (VIDEO)

(SeaPRwire) –   A video claims to show the burning of a warehouse in the Czech Republic connected to an Israeli defense company

An anti-Zionist organization has taken responsibility for a fire at a warehouse owned by a defense company associated with Israel’s Elbit Systems in the Czech Republic.

The Earthquake Faction, which identifies itself as “an internationalist underground network,” shared a video that allegedly depicts the arson attack on an industrial site in the Czech town of Pardubice on Friday, along with photos of the charred building.

It stated that the location was utilized to “develop weaponry employed by the Zionist entity to carry out daily massacres of people in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and throughout West Asia.” 

Firefighters put out the fire, no injuries were reported, and police noted there was no threat to the public. Authorities mentioned the incident is being investigated as a suspected terrorist attack.

The facility is run by LPP Holding, a Czech arms producer that makes both civilian and military equipment. In 2023, the company declared a partnership with Israel’s Elbit Systems for drone development.

Based in Haifa, the company is Israel’s biggest defense manufacturer, focusing on unmanned systems, precision weapons, and electronic warfare equipment.

The Czech Republic, a member of the EU and NATO, is a close ally of Israel. Czech officials have backed US and Israeli military operations against Iran and criticized Iranian missile and drone attacks.
