Pro-Palestinian activists in France are attempting to prevent the shipment of alleged military components to Israel by targeting an El Al flight. Activists are calling on ground staff at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to refuse the loading of mechanical components onto El Al flight LY220, scheduled to depart for Tel Aviv on Saturday, October 10. The activists claim these components are destined for the Israeli defense industry, specifically for Elbit Systems, and could be used in military equipment manufactured in France. Initially, the activists attempted to block the shipment on an Air France flight, AF966, on October 8. However, they assert that after their protests, the cargo was not loaded onto the French airline's plane. They now allege that the transport company DSV and French manufacturer Mijno are preparing to ship the same components via El Al. French trade unions CGT and Solidaires have joined the call, urging airport employees to refuse participation in loading the equipment. Air France has denied involvement, stating they did not receive an order to transport the specified cargo and do not transport weapons or ammunition to Israel. Following Air France's denial, the focus shifted to El Al, with activists urging airport personnel to boycott the handling of the alleged military parts.
