Authorities detained two more people in connection with the arson attack on a Czech optics and drone factory last month, Czech police and a public prosecutor’s office said on Saturday.
A previously unknown pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel activist group calling itself the Earthquake Faction
…another Iranian sock puppet…
has grabbed credit for the March 20 fire at an industrial complex in Pardubice, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of Prague.Czech authorities have previously announced five detentions, including those of an Egyptian and a US citizen, since the fire that targeted a building used by the Czech defense group LPP Holding.
Polish prosecutors said on Wednesday that two Polish citizens were also detained in connection with the case.
Czech police and prosecutors said another person was detained on Saturday. A further individual was also detained in Bulgaria on Friday and police said their extradition will be requested. Both were foreign nationals, Czech authorities said
The group that grabbed credit for the attack has said in a statement online that the targeted company was developing weapons for Israel.
LPP Holding had previously said it planned to open a center to develop and produce drones and train personnel in cooperation with Israeli Elbit Systems, a military technology company, in 2023, but these plans were never implemented.
LPP’s production includes drones that are exported to Ukraine, which has been fighting Russian forces since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion.
Over the past two years, Elbit has been inking contracts with global customers even as pro-Paleostinian and anti-Israel protesters have assailed the firm, negative sentiment toward Israel has been growing, and arms embargoes have been floated over Israel’s conduct during the war against the Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...terror group in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
In 2024, a 13-year-old boy, instructed and armed by others, opened fire on Elbit’s Swedish office, and explosives were planted there in the same year.
The Paleostine Action group was also charged with breaking into Elbit’s British factory in 2024. Some eight months later, in June 2025, Paleostine Action activists broke into a Royal Air Force base and vandalized two planes, causing an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) of damage. The following month, Britannia proscribed Paleostine Action as a terrorist organization, making it a crime to be a member.
