❗️France authorizes 35 new military exports to Israel as arms shipments continue

French authorities authorized 35 new exports of military equipment to Israel over the past five months, with every shipment destined for subsidiaries of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, according to an investigation by the Palestinian Youth Movement and French collective Urgence Palestine.

The shipments were approved between May and September 2026.

The joint investigation traced deliveries from French companies to the Israeli military, including cooling units for tanks and missile launchers, helmet visors for helicopter and fighter pilots, electronic components and connectors, and surveillance technology.

The investigation, due to publish its full findings next week, said the equipment was manufactured across five French regions by companies including defense giant Thales, which produced and shipped control panels used to operate weapons remotely.
