France has been supplying weapons to Israel since beginning of war on Gaza: Report

France has been supplying Israel an “uninterrupted” flow of arms since October 2023, according to a report by a group of ten non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Andalou Agency reported on Tuesday. 

The report says that military equipment was exported from France to Israel in two separate categories: bombs, grenades, torpedoes, mines, missiles, and other munitions of war; plus rocket launchers, hand grenades, flamethrowers, artillery, military rifles, hunting rifle parts and accessories. It underscored that over 15 million items in the first category and 1,868 items in the second were delivered to Israel.

The report also noted that the total value of the deliveries exceeds $10.3m, calling for further investigations to determine the final use of the materials in question.

It added that parts for the F-35 fighter jet had been sent from the US to Israel via the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.

 The NGOs, which produced the report, include Stop Arming Israel France, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign.
