Hannah Thomas, who challenged Prime Minister Anthony Albanesein the federal seat of Grayndlerat the May election, was among protesters outside a manufacturing facility in Sydney's south-west on Friday morning.
The protesters allege SEC Plating supplies components used in the manufacture of F-35 jets, the class of jets flown by the Israel Defense Forces — an allegation the company has denied.
NSW Police said officers attempted to move the group of protesters on, claiming that the action was unauthorised.
Videos showed a woman being dragged away from a group of protesters before falling to the ground with a police officer.
Police can be heard saying "Get up now," with the woman replying "I'm trying."

Ms Thomas, 35,remains in hospital with significant facial injuries, and her lawyer, Peter O'Brien, has warned she could lose her eye after the incident.
"My understanding is that the injury to her eye is very serious and there is a real chance, regrettably and gravely, that she is going to lose an eye," Mr O'Brien said on Saturday.
Ms Thomas posted a video to Instagram on Sunday night, thanking people for their support.
"I don't want to get into too much detail about the traumatic events on Friday, but I'm 5'1", I weigh about 45 kilos," Ms Thomas said.
"I was engaged in peaceful protests, and my interactions with NSW Police have left me potentially without vision in my right eye permanently."
She described recently introduced anti-protest laws as "draconian" and said the government was warned the laws would "lead to this outcome".
However, she said what she was going through was "obviously nothing compared to what people in Gaza are going through because of Israel".
Ms Thomas has been issued a Future Court Attendance Notice for allegedly hindering or resisting a police officer and refusing to comply with a direction to disperse.
She's scheduled to appear at Bankstown Local Court on August 12.
Federal and NSW Greens members are calling for accountability over the incident, including NSW Greens MP Sue Higginson, who called for it to be declared a critical incident.
A critical incident would require police to investigate an incident involving a NSW police officer that has resulted in the death or serious injury of a person.
NSW Police said it is not formally investigating the matter as a critical incident, and that if an incident is declared, it will be "a decision of the Region Commander".
"The incident remains under investigation and police continue to seek further information," NSW Police said on Sunday evening.

Police said four others were arrested at the protest, including a 24-year-old man who they allege temporarily stole a police body-worn camera.
They were charged with a range of offences and granted conditional bail, due to front Bankstown Local Court on July 15.
Arrest documents for one of the five people charged, which were obtained by ABC News, included a reference to a protester being outside a "place of worship".
SEC Plating is across the road from Teebah Islamic Association Mosque.
Earlier this year, the Minns government broadened anti-protest laws to include places of worship, as part of a suite of laws passed to crack down on "hate speech".
A Supreme Court challenge was launched, arguing the laws are unconstitutional, and a NSW parliamentary inquiry isexamining whether the parliament was misledin order to pass them.
The legislation was passed soon after a caravan was found with power gel explosives at Dural in January — later confirmed to have no detonator.
Premier Chris Minns fronted the media to describe the incident as a "potential mass casualty event", with the Australian Federal Policelater saying it was part of a "fabricated terrorist plot"with potential links to organised crime in Australia and overseas.
It's not clear whether the move-on directions to the protesters on Friday were given under the new provisions, and NSW Police have not confirmed what laws were used or how.
The NSW government has been contacted for comment.
