France: NGO sues arms producer Eurolinks over suspected "complicity in genocide" after allegations co. supplies machine gun parts to Israel

Palestinians look for survivors after an Israeli airstrike in Rafah refugee camp, southern Gaza Strip, on October 12 2023.

In June 2025, Le Monde reported that the French League for the Defence of Human Rights, a French NGO, is suing arms company Eurolinks, asking the courts to clarify whether the company supplies machine gun parts to Israel.

The complaint targets both the French company Eurolinks and the Israeli company IMI Systems (part of Elbit), amid suspected acts of "complicity in war crimes", "complicity in crimes against humanity" and "complicity in the crime of genocide". Eurolinks allegedly sells metal links to IMI Systems, used to link machine gun bullets. These munitions could allegedly have been used against civilians in Gaza.

The complaint follows a strike by dockworkers in Marseille, who blocked an Israel-bound shipment of Eurolink’s machine gun components in protest of the “ongoing genocide”.
