United Airlines is set to resume the shipment of military hardware to Israel aboard passenger flights, according to shipping data reviewed by The Intercept. The airline, one of the biggest in the world, had halted the practice more than six months ago amid the outbreak of the war on Iran.

On Wednesday evening, United is scheduled to transport five shipments of military cargo onboard United Airlines flight 90, a passenger route from Newark Liberty International Airport, in New Jersey, to Tel Aviv, Israel, a day after resuming the route and another direct flight to Israel, records show.

Great way to put innocent civilians at risk of becoming legitimate military targets...

    Words cannot describe how much Israel wants Iran to shoot down an American passenger jet, legitimate target or not.

    "Hamas are using human shields, this is on them" was like the closest thing Israel almost had to being vaguely conceivable as a point in their flimsy justification for bombing civilian populations in Gaza, and it turns out they don't even have that as a moral high ground either.

    I know it's OSINT, but if I was writing for the intercept, I'd have a real bad taste in my mouth, if that specific flight got shot down.
