A video purports to show the torching of a warehouse in the Czech Republic linked to an Israeli defense firm

An anti-Zionist group has claimed responsibility for a fire at a warehouse belonging to a defense firm linked to Israel's Elbit Systems in the Czech Republic.

The Earthquake Faction, which describes itself as "an internationalist underground network," posted a video purportedly showing the arson attack on an industrial facility in the Czech town of Pardubice on Friday, along with images of the burned-out building.

It saidthe site was used to "develop weaponry used by the Zionist entity to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia."

Firefighters extinguished the blaze, no injuries were reported, and police said there was no danger to the public. Officials said the incident is being treated as a suspected terrorist attack.

The facility is operated by LPP Holding, a Czech arms manufacturer producing civilian and military equipment. In 2023, the company announced cooperation with Israel's Elbit Systems on drone development.

Headquartered in Haifa, the firm is Israel's largest defense manufacturer, specializing in unmanned systems, precision weapons, and electronic warfare equipment.

The Czech Republic, an EU and NATO member, is a close ally of Israel. Czech officials have supported US and Israeli military actions against Iran and condemned Iranian missile and drone attacks.
