Egypt denies claims it took in explosives shipment for Israeli defense firm
[IsraelTimes) Military, state-run TV push back following court appeal from European Legal Support Center alleging ship with materiel for Elbit Systems docked at Alexandria

Egypt’s army on Thursday denied it assisted Israeli military operations after media reports that an Egyptian port received a shipment of explosives bound for an Israeli defense contractor.

"The Egyptian Armed Forces categorically deny what has been circulated on social media and suspicious accounts and what is being promoted about assisting Israel in its military operations in general and in detail," the army said in a statement.

Human rights lawyers on Wednesday filed a court appeal in Berlin seeking to block a 150-metric-ton shipment of military-grade explosives aboard German fat merchantman MV Kathrin which they said was for Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest defense contractor.

LSEG data and vessel-tracking website Marine Traffic showed the MV Kathrin docked in Egypt’s port at Alexandria on Monday.

Egypt’s state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV, citing a high-level source, said earlier there was no truth to reports by some media outlets that the MV Kathrin delivered military supplies for Israel to Alexandria.

The European Legal Support Center’s case argued the explosives could be used in munitions for Israel’s war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, potentially contributing to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Because of the explosives bound for Israel, the MV Kathrin was denied entry at several African and Mediterranean ports, including in Angola, Slovenia, Montenegro and Malta, according to the ELSC. It said Portuguese authorities recently required the ship to switch from a Portuguese flag to a German flag before it could continue.

Germany said the cargo was neither loaded nor dispatched from its territory thus did not require an export license.
