Earlier today The Ditch, with @disclosengo.bsky.social, published a story about a secret shipment of ammunition links to Israel.

These workers recognised their power. They used it.

The Ditch can exclusively report that EU states exported 69 million rounds of ammunition to Israel since October 2023 under the controversial EU-Israel trade agreement.

That includes 15 million rounds sent to Israel in the first four months of this year.

The Ditch first reported on the Irish Central Bank facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds in September last year.

The Israeli Bonds CEO has told potential investors that purchasing bonds is "the best way" to help Israel support "the war campaign”.
