Three Israeli Terrorist Air Raids on Sudan Since January

Editor's Note:

This news explains why the Zionist-controlled prosecutor of the ICC has issued a warrant to arrest the Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir. He was the only leader in the world to dare to allegedly allow an attempt to send weapons to Gaza.

Leaders of the Zionist Empire do not want anybody to help the Palestinian people in resisting the Israeli wars of aggression against them. If anyone of the world leaders dares to attempt to do so, he would be indicted as a war criminal while the Israeli war criminals are free to terrorize Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims around the world.

Report: Israel has bombed Sudan three times since January

Bethlehem - Ma'an -

Israeli warplanes have struck Sudan three times since January, according to an American news agency.

US broadcaster ABC News reported on Saturday that Israel bombed three convoys, which were believed to have been carrying weapons from Iran en route to the Gaza Strip.

The report quotes an anonymous American official as having confirmed each of the three attacks, in which the US has denied having any role.

Israeli officials have refused to confirm or deny the attacks.

On Friday, the New York Times reported that at least one strike had occurred in Sudan in January, quoting two other anonymous sources. According to them, the January airstrike took place as an effort to stop the flow of weapons to Hamas during Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip.

According to Sudanese officials familiar with the case, the strike occurred in a remote eastern part of Sudan, where they said American fighter jets killed dozens in an airstrike.

The area where the attack occurred is near Port Sudan on the Red Sea, where weapons are commonly smuggled through the country, according to the New York Times.

Sudanese spokesperson Rabie A. Atti said the death toll was higher than 39, which has been commonly reported since early Thursday when the attack came to light, and that “more than 100 people” were killed in the strike.

Atti also denied reports that the convoy was carrying weapons. “I’ve heard this allegation, but it’s not true,” he said. “It was a genocide, committed by US forces.”

When the New York Times asked how he knew the forces were American, Atti said: “We don’t differentiate between the US and Israel. They are all one.”
