Pro-Palestine peace protestors have staged a demonstration outside BAE Systems in Samlesbury.
There were long delays on the A59 as protestors took up positions at the entrance of the multinational arms, security and aerospace company.
The demonstrators are urging BAE and other companies to end their ties with Israel and cease all weapons, defence and supplies trading with them. It comes as the Israeli forces bombed parts of Lebanon and continued to target Gaza leading to deaths of hundreds of civilians.
Demonstrators have gathered outside BAE Systems a number of times over the past year to highlight the ongoing bombing of Gaza.
