Transporters shot in Israel (8)
I believe the answer is:
airlines
'transporters' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'shot in israel' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'israel'='inisrael'
'inisrael' is an anagram of 'AIRLINES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airlines that I've seen before include "Aer Lingus, Ryanair etc." , "They transport people around the world" , "Rain isle (anag.)" , "Companies providing regular plane travel" , "Pressurised tubes" .)
