Pro-Palestine protesters chanted "RAF, shame on you" as they held a demonstration outside an airbase calling for an embargo on selling arms to Israel.
Hundreds of people attended the protest, organised by Palestine Solidarity Campaign, at RAF High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire on Saturday.
The group said the protest was part of its summer of action for Gaza and showed "the strength of the public demand for an arms embargo".
Thames Valley Police said: "We will work with the organisers, partners and the public to facilitate peaceful protest, balancing the rights of all and to keep our communities safe."

Demonstrators gathered along a fence outside the airbase
RAF High Wycombe, which was originally designed to house RAF Bomber Command in the 1930, houses Headquarters Air Command.
