Germany has put a hold on new exports of weapons of war to Israel while it deals with legal challenges, according to a Reuters analysis of data and a source close to the Economy Ministry.
Last year, Germany approved arms exports to Israel worth 326.5 million euros ($363.5 million), including military equipment and war weapons, a 10-fold increase from 2022, according to data from the Economy Ministry, which approves export licences.
The “ADOR” part of that stands for anti-door, they’re useful for urban fighting. It can not only get through armoured doors, but also turn walls into doors.
When it comes to genocide though they’re certainly not cost-effective. I don’t think that export would be allowed right now, but just after the 7th was a different time where it wasn’t yet absolutely clear that the Kahanites were actually getting the genocide they always wanted, that the other 90% of Israelis would let them get away with it.
