One week after a ceasefire was signed by Israel and Hamas, Disclose can reveal that a consignment of equipment made by French company Sermat is to be shipped to Israel on 20 October. The parts are for drones designed by Elbit Systems, one of the Israeli armed forces’ main suppliers. This is the fourth such contract uncovered by Disclose between a French company and an Israeli military industry player since the war started in Gaza.

An Israeli cargo boat will put in at Fos-sur-Mer, near Marseille, on 5 June. Later that day, the Contship Era is supposed to load discreetly 14 tonnes of spare parts for machine guns. The military equipment, made by French company Eurolinks, is to be delivered to arms company Israel Military Industries, Disclose and Irish media outlet The Ditch can reveal.
