Five people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in an attack on Elbit Systems UK in August last year.
After a series of warrants across the UK today, the five people were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorism acts.
The arrests include a 66-year-old Bristol man, a 20-year-old Kent woman, along with a 19-year-old, 27-year-old and 33-year-old men from London.
All remain in custody.
Police say the arrests are in connection with an investigation into an incident on August 6 last year.
"In which a group of people forced their way into the building of defence technology firm, Elbit Systems UK, in South Gloucestersire, causing extensive damage," the police state.
"Employees of the company and two police officers were seriously assaulted."
Police added that 10 people were arrested shortly after the incident, with a further eight arrested in November.

The group's co-founder Huda Ammori requested the High Court to temporarily block Labour from banning the group as a terrorist organisation.
A High Court judge refused Ammori's bid with the move brought into effect in the last couple of weeks.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe the group in June, stating vandalism by the group was "disgraceful".
She added that the group had a "long history of unacceptable criminal damage".
The group accused Labour of complicity in what it says are Israeli war crimes in its ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
Israel has repeatedly denied committing genocide in its war in Gaza, which it says was started after Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
This is in light of the International Court of Justice concluding that the claim that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza was “plausible”.
This has been flatly denied by Israel.
It also comes as the International Criminal Court put out warrants for the arrests of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gollant as well as the now-dead Hamas Military Commander Mohammed Deif.
