According to media group The Aftershock, the activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.
After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and subsequently abseiled into the building.
The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months.
One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this genocide that Israel is committing on the Palestinian people."
