OPINION – Gaza, arms to IsraelA British company has sent over 1,000 munitions containers to Israel amid the Gaza genocide, raising concerns about UK arms export controls. The documents show how Permoid Industries, an engineering firm in Durham, has sent 16 shipments of “storage containers” weighing over 100 tonnes to Elbit Systems in Israel since October 2023. Most of the shipments were sent to Elbit Systems Land in Ramat Hasharon near Tel Aviv, which produces a range of armaments for the IDF such as 155mm and 122mm mortar shells. 360 of those items were sent in April 2025, as Israel escalated its siege, war of starvation, and military offensive in Gaza.
