Pro-Palestine activists are training "cells" of protesters to "disrupt, damage and destroy" Israel-linked targets across the UK.
Palestine Action, the group behind a litany of vandalistic stunts up and down the country, is running several "direct action training days" in a bid to bring Britons together to "bring down Israel".
The training days run from today until December 8, and are based in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The group says the sessions hope to "bring together like-minded people for a day of talks, trainings and group discussions" in a bid to whip up support for its cause.

As part of the training, activists hoping to get together and form protest groups are told to organise in groups of "three to five" trusted people, use burner phones, carry out reconnaissance undercover and pay with cash for sledgehammers.
Palestine Action's training manual says: "Once you've got your cell together, come up with a name... This can be named after a Palestinian freedom fighter, a play on taking action against the war machine, or anything else that's appropriate."
Then, would-be protesters are told to "head to our website to find a list of secondary and primary targets who enable and profit from the Israeli weapons industry in Britain".
When scouting for locations, Palestine Action says activists should take care to stay under the radar.
"If it's in the middle of town centre, then going for a walk with a friend or by yourself and pulling out a camera to look at the site doesn't look suspicious at all," the group says.

"However, if you're going out in the sticks walking around an industrial estate with a selfie stick - you'll probably stand out a bit.
"On going for sites in more rural areas, try asking to borrow someone's dog to take them on a walk (or walk your own dog if you've got one).
"Dream up crazy ideas in your cell... Remember that your action is to disrupt, damage or destroy your target."
The group advises protesters to use similar techniques to those seen at sites across the UK over the last 13 months: daubing buildings with paint, breaking into off-limits areas and smashing up targets with hammers.
While its list of targets directs activists to Israel-linked defence and logistics firms in the UK, including Elbit Systems, Teledyne and Rafael/Pearson Engineering.

But staff at said firms are furious - one contractor with Elbit told The Times: "Engineers who are going into work every day in sites around the country are being called baby killers and spat at by these activists.
"It's disgraceful. Many of these people are just engineers trying to go to work, do their jobs and earn a living."
While the Community Security Trust, a charity which provides safety to Britain's Jewish community, told the newspaper: "Palestine Action is an extremist organisation that uses violence and intimidation in pursuit of its political goals.
"There has been a clear escalation in its methods and targeting over the past year, including violence and the use of weapons against people as well as destruction of property, and there is obviously a concern that this pattern will continue.
"While it is welcome that individual activists have been arrested and prosecuted, there is an urgent need for government and police to address the growing threat that this organisation poses as a whole."
