Anti-Israel provocation in France - El Al targeted
Pro-Palestinian activists in France have called on staff at Charles de Gaulle Airport to disrupt the loading of a suspected shipment of mechanical components for the Israeli defense industry onto an El Al flight. They previously attempted to prevent the shipment via an Air France flight, but the carrier stated it had not received an order for transport. Protesters are now targeting El Al flight LY220, scheduled for October 10.
Pro-Palestinian organizations in France have launched a campaign to block the shipment of mechanical components allegedly destined for the Israeli defense industry. Initially, activists tried to prevent loading on Air France flight AF966 on October 8, but the airline stated it had not received an order for such cargo and does not transport weapons to Israel. Protesters then shifted focus to the Israeli airline El Al and its flight LY220, scheduled for Saturday, October 10, from Paris to Tel Aviv. The French organization UJFP claims that transport company DSV and manufacturer Mijno are preparing to send the same batch of components via El Al. The CGT and Solidaires unions have joined the protest, calling on airport ground staff to refuse to handle the cargo. Activists insist the parts could be used in military systems of Elbit Systems.
