Two months ago, Remix News reported on the anti-Israel Earthquake Faction’s attack on a factory in Pardubice, Czech Republic. Footage of the incident posted by the group had gone viral on social media.
At the time, reports stated that Earthquake Faction set the fire, which reportedly also engulfed properties belonging to other companies, to destroy a “site built to ‘service the global expansion of Israel’s biggest weapons producer.’”

— The Aftershock (@The_Aftershock_) March 20, 2026Czech arms company LPP Holding had announced several years earlier that it wanted to produce and develop drones in Pardubice together with the Israeli company Elbit Systems. LPP Holding has been vocal in its support of Israel and its attacks in Gaza; however, according to the company, this project never materialized.
The site did reportedly manufacture weapons, including drones for Ukraine.
Now, Poland has announced that it will hand over three people, two men and one woman, to the Czech Republic for prosecution. They are all Polish citizens.
The suspects had previously been detained in Poland in connection with the fire, which the police are investigating as a terrorist attack. The fire is said to have caused damage worth hundreds of millions of crowns, or millions of euros.
“All persons detained in Poland in connection with the fire at the LPP Holding arms factory in Pardubice will be transferred to the Czech Republic for prosecution within a few weeks at the most,” announced Czech Television Schön, as cited by Seznam Zprávy.
The woman and one of the men are suspected by criminal investigators of aiding in setting the fire itself. According to local media, the second of the men detained in Poland allegedly instructed other people to buy various items used to start it.
Police have so far detained 10 people in connection with the case, seven of whom have been remanded into custody at the prosecutor’s request. They are suspected of a terrorist attack and participation in a terrorist group. Reports indicate that authorities believe the declared group could serve as a front for another entity or state actor.
