Paris airport workers say they blocked Elbit-bound shipment to Israel

Airport workers in Paris blocked a shipment bound for Elbit Systems, an Israeli security company. The cargo was initially set to be loaded onto an Air France flight from Paris to Israel on Thursday, but was instead scheduled to depart on an El Al flight on Saturday.

Workers from a French cargo company, identified as Cargo by the Jerusalem Post, refused to load the shipment. The company's workers' committee organized the boycott.

Israeli security officials intervened in an attempt to resolve the issue, according to the Jerusalem Post. This incident follows recent discriminatory issues faced by Israeli defense companies in France.
