A newly emerged group calling itself the Earthquake Faction has claimed responsibility for an overnight arson attack on LPP Holdings, a Czech arms company that has cooperated with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest military manufacturer, since 2023. The targeted facility reportedly includes a Center of Excellence within a larger complex and has been involved in drone production in collaboration with the Israeli company. According to released footage, members of the Earthquake Faction breached the facility’s security and set fire to equipment alleged to be used in drone development and manufacturing. In a post on its website, the group described itself as an internationalist underground network that seeks to strike at sites deemed critical to Israel. The statement argues that LPP Holdings functions as a conduit for weaponry used by Israel, framing the attack as a protest against such collaboration. Authorities are likely to conduct investigations into the incident, verify the authenticity of the footage and the group’s claims, and assess potential links to a broader network. The report highlights ongoing debates about arms trade, drone technology, and cross-border defense partnerships, while emphasizing caution and the need for accountability in defense relationships.
