Palestine activist swung sledgehammer 'to protect' in Elbit raid
Samuel Corner told the court his sole intention was to "destroy weapons and damage the factory".

Based on recent coverage up to early May 2026, Samuel Corner has been associated with high-profile Palestine Action protests and trials related to a 2024 Elbit Systems raid near Bristol, including charges of criminal damage and grievous bodily harm.
