The two organizations have worked together, temporarily taken over Israeli military checkpoints, interfered with the arrests of Palestinians charged with terrorism, and attempted to prevent the destruction of Palestinian homes with access to tunnels that are used for weapons smuggling.

Industrial Workers of the World.
