Pro-Palestine activists have defaced the UK Government's headquarters in Edinburgh with red paint.
Four protestors from the This is Rigged group targeted HMRC Queen Elizabeth building on Sibbald Walk on Wednesday morning.
The protest saw two members scale the premises as another sprayed the glass on the front of the building with a fire extinguisher containing red paint.
Another threw water balloons holding the paint at the UK Government's crest. It is understood that the activists have also thrown the UK flag from the top of the building, replacing it with a Palestinian one.
This is Rigged - which is a food and climate justice campaign in Scotland - said the action is a "protest against Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people". Campaigners said they are calling out the UK Government's "complicity in genocide".
A statement from This is Rigged reads: "There can be no business as usual as Palestinian people are brutally tortured, murdered, starved and ethnically cleansed. Scotland will not let the voices of the Palestinian people be ignored.
"We will not be passive. We will not be desensitised. We will take no pride in a country in large part responsible for this killing, and we will not sit by and do nothing."
It comes after activists from This is Rigged covered statues in Glasgow's George Square with soup in food price protest on Monday.
Activists prayed fire extinguishers of soup at the Queen Victoria and Prince Albert statues as the group demanded prices of baby formula to be reduced to March 2021 rates and the opening of one community hub per 500 households.
