Media Reports: British Company sent 1,000 ammunition containers to "Israel" during aggression on Gaza
British media reports indicate that a British engineering company sent more than 1,000 ammunition containers to an Israeli company, the primary supplier to the occupation army, during the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
According to what was published Monday, by the British websites Declassified and Detach, new documents confirm that the British company Bermuda Industries sent more than 1,000 ammunition containers to the Israeli company Elbit Systems since October 2023, at the height of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip, raising concerns about arms export controls in the United Kingdom.
British reports indicated that the Durham-based engineering company sent 16 shipments of storage containers weighing more than 100 tons to Elbit Systems, which produces a range of weapons for the Israeli occupation army, including 155mm and 122mm artillery shells.
The Bermuda Industries website indicates that the company produces a "wide range of ammunition containers" for belted ammunition, cartridges, mortar shells, and artillery shells.
920 containers were shipped to Elbit's Ramat Hasharon plant between October 2023 and April 2025, with another 160 containers shipped to Elbit's Advanced Technology Center in Haifa in December 2023.
Elbit is a major supplier of mortars to the Israeli military and has participated in the design and manufacture of ground systems and products for armored vehicles, artillery systems, and shells used in the Gaza War.
The Israeli military has also tested and deployed several mortar systems since the start of the offensive, including the Iron Sting system, which has a range of 1 to 12 kilometers.
According to the documents, 360 containers were sent in April 2025, as the Israeli attack on Gaza escalated. The shipments were transported by the Israeli shipping company Zim to the port of Ashdod.
Declassified estimated the total weight of these shipments at more than 135 tons.
The UK Department for Business and Trade told Declassified: "We have a strict licensing regime for the export of controlled goods, and we have suspended all licenses for items intended for the Israeli military that may be used in military operations in Gaza. This is based on our assessment that these items may be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law, subject to specific measures taken for the global F-35 program."
Britain is witnessing ongoing demonstrations demanding an end to arms exports to the Zionist enemy, the most recent of which was the siege of Parliament by 10,000 protesters last Wednesday.
Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn also introduced a bill calling for a full, public, and independent investigation into the UK's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, asserting that the government continues to permit the supply of weapons to a country whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court.
In previous press statements, Corbyn said, "The continued supply of components for the F-35 fighter program is disgusting and must be investigated." He asked, "Is this an exception to the government's legal obligations to prevent genocide? One thing is beyond doubt: this government continues to permit the supply of weapons to a country whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity."
With American and European support, the enemy has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,927 civilians, most of them children and women, in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons.

Israeli Occupation Forces raid Al-Eizariya, Azzun in Occupied East Quds, Qalqilya
Quds – SABA: Israeli occupation forces raided the towns of Al-Eizariya, southeast of occupied Quds, and Azzun, east of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank, on Thursday evening. The Jerusalem Governorate confirmed that Israeli forces stormed Al-Eizariya and raided the mourning tent of martyr Bassam Ibrahim Abu Sunaina, attacking mourners, confiscating car keys, and subjecting them to field interrogations. Abu Sunaina (52), an ex-prisoner exiled to Gaza since 2011, was martyred along with his child earlier Thursday in an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian News Agency 'WAFA.' In Azzun, local sources reported that Israeli forces entered through the town's main northern entrance, deployed in the central district (Post Office Street), and began raiding homes. Among the houses raided were those of Abdullah Radwan and Radwan Radwan, the latter of which was turned into a military post. Recently, Israeli forces have intensified the practice of converting Palestinian homes into military outposts in the West Bank. Residents are forcibly evicted, their property looted or destroyed, and entire neighborhoods declared closed military zones, in clear violation of international law, according to a report from the Palestinian Government Media Center. Eyewitness accounts indicate that soldiers often use these homes as sniper positions, field command centers, or interrogation sites, with entire residential buildings sometimes being converted into military bases. Palestinian civilians have documented being subjected to beatings, humiliation, and theft of personal belongings and money, while others report total destruction of their homes' contents.

Palestinian Ahrar Movement: Actions of So-Called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' Strip Away Its Humanitarian Mask
Gaza – SABA: The Palestinian Ahrar Movement stated Thursday evening that the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' is carrying out security and military roles that strip away any pretense of humanitarianism and expose its criminal actions to both the Palestinian people and the international community. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement declared: 'This malicious role turns the foundation into an enemy of the Palestinian people and their needs. Its leadership bears direct responsibility for the daily killing of hundreds of hungry Palestinians by turning food distribution centers into death traps, where the Israeli enemy carries out its Nazi rituals and genocidal war in Gaza.' The movement urged the steadfast Palestinian people to maintain national awareness and exercise caution when dealing with the foundation and its operatives, both inside and outside Gaza. It called on the public to isolate, reject, and disrupt the foundation's harmful schemes, which it said aim to impoverish the people, fracture social unity, and weaponize hunger to fuel violence and internal conflict.
