IAF F-16s carried out single raid in Sudan

Contrary to earlier reports, the Israeli Air Force had employed F-16s to bomb a weapons convoy in Sudan back in January, Time Magazine said on Tuesday.Quoting two senior Israeli security sources, the magazine said the 23-truck convoy was struck twice by the F-16s with F-15s providing CAPs.UAVs supporting the operation found that the convoy had been only partially damaged during the first run and a second run was ordered immediately.The sources also said that there was only one strike instead of three claimed by the media.Separately, the pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat reported Monday that Washington did warned Sudan a few days before the strike that weapons were being smuggled into the Gaza Strip through its territory.This piece of warning lead Sudan leaders initially into believing that it was the United States that carried out the attack.
