Key Takeaways:
- An ostensibly new organization called The List has claimed several attacks against firms linked to Israel.
- Counter-terrorism officers are assisting local police after vandals struck homes in Britain of people who work for firms tied to Israeli arms maker Elbit Systems.
- HonestReporting identified at least 66 reported or claimed property attacks in 11 countries from January to mid-October on Israel-linked arms suppliers and firms accused of aiding them.
A group calling itself The List claimed responsibility for vandalizing seven homes in Britain belonging to people working for companies connected to Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.
The Times reported that hooded vandals struck the homes at night and that counter-terrorism officers are assisting local police. The paper said it is unclear whether The List is an offshoot of Palestine Action.
Photos on the group’s website show red paint splattered on a car and “Baby Killers” spray-painted on garage doors. Its warning is explicit: “Quit your job, or risk a visit from The List.”
Attacks Claimed by The List
The group’s September 12 statement claims an attack that morning on a Kent home that serves as the registered address of Touche, which the group calls a major exporter of arms to Israel. The statement also claims earlier attacks this year on three more homes: one belonging to a director of Elbit’s Staffordshire engine subsidiary and two belonging to members of a partnership that leases land to Elbit in Leicester. Its October 12 post claims attacks on three more homes, linked to Ultra I&C, Keysight, and Leonardo.
Those three attacks hit Fleet, Hampshire, and Dunfermline and South Queensferry in Scotland. Hampshire police told The Times that attackers threw red paint across the front of a house in Fleet and damaged two car tires early on October 10. The Times identified the homeowner as an executive of the Ultra group. Police Scotland said it is investigating vandalism at homes in Dunfermline and South Queensferry reported on October 11 and is assisting counter-terrorism police.
The group says it obtained addresses through “research, hacking, whistleblowers and leaks.”
A Precedent of Vandalism Tactics
Among pro-Palestinian activists and some organizations, targeting homes has precedent. In June, Palestine Action’s global network claimed it painted the Florida home of an Elbit America executive red.
Other attacks have injured people. In June, a judge sentenced Samuel Corner to seven years and eight months in custody. Corner fractured a police officer’s spine with a sledgehammer during Palestine Action’s August 2024 Filton raid. A jury convicted him and three co-defendants at a retrial, and the judge found a terrorist connection.
Britain proscribed Palestine Action in July 2025. In June, the Court of Appeal upheld the ban, overturning a High Court ruling. The Supreme Court will hear the group’s challenge on November 4 and 5.
Attacks on Elbit-linked businesses continue despite law enforcement’s crackdown of Palestine Action. In April, police arrested three activists at Keysight’s Fleet plant and later charged them in a counter-terrorism investigation. People Against Genocide claimed the break-in. In August, the group claimed a break-in at Ultra I&C’s Aberdeenshire office, after which police charged two men.
Abroad, Palestine Action Canada claimed an October 11–12 attack on GeoSpectrum, an Elbit subsidiary in Peterborough, Ontario. Police are investigating it as a hate/bias crime. A statement attributed to the group and circulated on Telegram declared that “no proscription or terrorist designation” would stop the movement.
HonestReporting identified at least 66 reported or claimed property attacks across 11 countries between January and mid-October against Israel-linked arms suppliers and businesses accused of supporting them. Independent media corroborated fewer than half. Eight reportedly targeted homes; HonestReporting found no police or mainstream-media confirmation of those incidents before The Times’ report.
Governments are responding. Washington designated Palestine Action a Specially Designated Global Terrorist on August 26. In Germany, five activists remain on trial over a September 2025 break-in at an Elbit subsidiary, including on criminal-organization charges.
No public evidence establishes an organizational link between The List and Palestine Action or People Against Genocide, although their targets overlap. The List’s warning nevertheless makes its purpose explicit: to pressure employees to resign by threatening to bring the anti-Elbit campaign to their homes.
