The four activists from the Palestine Action Protest group raided an Israeli weapons factory in England in 2024, smashing equipment to disrupt weapons production.
The judge said he gave it a terrorist connection because their actions aimed to stop the Israeli weapons manufacturer from operating.
They've been given sentences of up to seven years in prison.
Some politicians and civil liberties groups have called it an attack on the right to protest in the UK.
The British government last year labelled Palestine Action, a terrorist organisation,
leading to the arrest of thousands of supporters.
An appeals court will rule next week on whether the ban should be lifted.

In his resignation letter, former Defence Secretary John Healey accused the British Prime Minister of being unable and his Treasury unwilling to spend the money needed to defend the UK at what he called a dangerous time of rising threats.
Healey said the government's plans fell way short at a time when the UK has said there could be an attack by Russia on NATO.
Starmer has insisted the government is providing the largest increase in defence spending since the Cold War.
But this has left Britain's defence plan in disarray just weeks before a key NATO summit.
