In Italy, workers at the Port of Ravenna prevented the entry of two trucks allegedly carrying weapons to Israel, thereby blocking the arms shipment to Israel. The mayor also supported the action by stating that the explosives came from another country.

A response to the massacre in the Gaza Strip, which Israel has been carrying out in front of the whole world since October 7, 2023, also came from Italian dockworkers.

STATEMENT FROM THE MAYOR

Ravenna Mayor Alessandro Barattoni stated in his announcement that the port authorities accepted his and the regional administration's request to deny the entry of trucks carrying explosives to Israel's Haifa Port. Barattoni expressed that the explosives came from another country, stating, "Italy claims to have blocked arms sales to Israel, but it is unacceptable that they pass through Italy from other countries due to bureaucratic loopholes."
