Activists Accuse India-Linked Firms of Supplying Steel for Israeli Artillery Shells Used in Gaza

Pro-Palestine activists allege that Indian firms are supplying military-grade steel to Israel via MSC-operated vessels, potentially for manufacturing 155mm artillery shells used in Gaza. The cargo, originating from R L Steels & Energy Limited, transits through Mediterranean ports before reaching Israel. Activists accuse India of complicity in Israel's actions, citing trade agreements and corporate ties. Greek dock workers have refused to unload such shipments, while BDS demands investigations and cargo seizures across multiple countries. The report highlights legal obligations under international law, though independent verification of cargo contents remains limited. The International Court of Justice has noted a plausible genocide risk in Gaza, but a final ruling is pending. Activists continue efforts to disrupt military supply chains through port blockades and legal challenges.
