Matt Kennard has reported for Drop Site News that the Labour government has sent 8,630 separate munitions to Israel since arms licences were suspended in September 2024. He based his article on a report by Palestinian Youth Movement, Progressive International, and Workers for a Free Palestine. They obtained their evidence from the Israel Tax Authority.In an attempt to avoid incriminating itself, the British government is refusing to say what the deliveries to Israel contained. They are hiding behind the national security excuse which they quite literally see as their get out of jail free card.While the UK government pretends all shipments are not for military operations in Gaza, Israel categorises the deliveries as:* Bombs, Grenades, Torpedoes, Mines, Missiles And Similar Munitions Of War And Parts Thereof* Parts and accessories of revolvers or pistols* Parts and accessories of shotguns and rifles* Rocket launchers; flame-throwers; grenade launchers; torpedo tubes and similar projectors* Tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, motorised whether or not fitted with weapons, and parts of such vehicles
