The Israeli terrorist air forces used unmanned, aerial drones in at least two of three airstrikes on alleged Iranian arms convoys in the Sudan, according to a British newspaper.

The Times of London said on Sunday the weapons were bound for the Gaza Strip, quoting senior Israeli military officials, who claimed the weapons were missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv or Israel's nuclear reactor in Dimona.

The drone attacks destroyed the trucks and killed at least 50 people, including Iranian agents escorting the alleged weapons shipment, according to the Times.

Israeli terrorist warplanes have struck Sudan three times since January, according to the US broadcaster ABC News, which reported on Saturday that Israel bombed convoys believed to have been carrying weapons from Iran en route to the Gaza Strip.

The report quoted 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 the record.

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.”
