The group interrupted the meeting at Somerset Council, calling on them to evict Elbit Systems, a manufacturing company.
A spokesperson from the group said: "Local residents disrupt Somerset Council’s meeting to demand the immediate eviction of Elbit Systems.
"The council’s property at Aztec West 600 is used as the UK headquarters of Israel’s largest weapons firm."
The group interrupted the meeting with a banner X/@Pal_ActionIn the video, one of the protesters says: "There's hundreds of names of children under 10 that have been killed since the genocide started.
"Many of the weapons will have been made by Elbit systems who are one of your tenants. It's interesting that you just read political statements from your party who said they are in support of ceasefire and that they're in support of ceasing arms sales to Israel.
"That to me indicates that you have the political ability to make a decision in line with that national request to evict Elbit."
