- RORY CASSIDY

SIX police officers were injured and four pro-Palestine protesters arrested in chaotic scenes outside a Scots factory yesterday. 

Officers were called in after demonstrators attended Thales in Glasgow's Govan.

They descended on the site around 5am, blocking the entrance of the Linthouse Road site after gathering within the grounds.

It is believed parts for the Watchkeeper drone, which is used by the Israeli military and made in collaboration with Israel's Elbit Systems, are supplied by Thales.

Police said six officers were injured in the clashes with one bitten on the arm and four protesters were arrested.
