I feel sorry for the workers in the buildings they must have been terrified, there is no need to take it this far -
Barclays bank branches across the UK have been covered in red paint and had windows smashed as part of protests by a pro-Palestine group.
Up to 20 buildings across England and Scotland have been targeted, according to the group Palestine Action.
It said the protests were carried out to "demand the bank divests from Israel's weapons trade and fossil fuels".
A spokesperson for Barclays said: "While we support the right to protest, we ask that campaigners do so in a way which respects our customers, colleagues and property.”
In Bristol, the windows of a city centre branch of Barclays Bank were smashed and red graffiti sprayed over the building.
Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, rocks inscribed with the names of Palestinians killed in the conflict were thrown at a Barclays building, the protesters said.
City of London police said three men, aged between 34 and 45, had been arrested in connection with criminal damage at the Barclays on Moorgate on Monday morning.
