A United Airlines flight illegally transported four ammunition handling systems – among military cargo overwhelmingly funded by the US government – to Israel through Irish territory this morning.

The munitions systems, as well as other military parts, are being delivered to Elbit Systems, Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) largest weapons supplier.

Most of the 19 shipments – more than two tonnes in total – identified by The Ditch were marked Foreign Military Financing, meaning the US is funding their supply to the Israeli armed forces.

United Airlines flight UA84 left Newark Liberty International Airport yesterday, on its way to Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. The flight was carrying passengers and commercial cargo.

More than two tonnes of military goods ordered by Israel’s biggest arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems, were onboard.
