Israeli Jets, Sub 'Strike in Sudan'
Israel National News ^ | December 25, 2011 | Gil Ronen

Posted on 12/25/2011 11:10:39 AM PST by Ranald S. MacKenzie

Israeli fighter jets, helicopters and possibly a submarine were involved in multiple attacks on targets in Sudan last week, according to local news outlets.

The reports say that Israeli jets hit targets in the eastern part of the African country, near its border with Egypt, last Thursday. They hit six Land Cruiser jeeps and killed four people. An earlier strike took place last Sunday and reportedly involved Israeli helicopters. A truck was targeted. Some reports say an Israeli submarine was also spotted at the same time.

However, the Sudanese army spokesman, Col. Al-Sawarmi Haled Sa'ad, said that the military's air defense array gave no indication that the country's airspace had been breached.

Arabic news outlet Dar al-Hayyat on Sunday reported “conflicting information” coming out of Sudan regarding alleged Israeli air strikes. It said that the governor of Sudan’s Red Sea District recently received notification from several citizens in the region that the IAF had raided smuggler convoys, in Abu Thabaq in the disputed Hala’ib triangle.

Also according to al-Rakoba, on December 15, Israeli Apache helicopters landed on an island east of the Red Sea port of Mohammed Qol. In early 2009, an Israeli raid on a 23-truck convoy carrying weapons to Hamas terrorists in Gaza was reported.

Israel does not comment on reports of overseas actions such as these.

This was also reported in the Jerusalem Post and Ynet News. I guess the Israelis sniffed out a weapons supply convoy or something similar. (If these reports are true.)

Lay waste to Islamic terrorists, place their heads on pikes while the fresh blood
runs from their eyes and show the world how justice meets treachery.

Land Cruisers are like $60k ea. I wonder if these guys buy in bulk, so they get them 5% over wholesale.

I have no problem with Holy War. Islamists hide in the shadows like diapered cowards
sucking their thumbs. The bible isn't a suicide pact and some Christians
seem to have been led to believe that, and until they start fighting back
the killing will continue. Every Mosque in the world should be burned to the ground.

Later I'll tell you how I really feel.

It’s that button that says “ON”, you have to push that up Sir.

Even cheaper to steal them or just shoot the owners and drive off.

“The sub sank a truck.” Great movie!

It's a step down from the real thing. On July 18, 1945, USS Barb sunk a train. It's a long and cute story - try Google.

I think Vlad Dracul should be commended for his unique and somewhat successful approach in dealing with Islamic fascism.

The spread of modern Islamic fascism should also be terminated with extreme prejudice as well, but there is something else to consider.

Historically, God has used the forces of evil heathen as punishment and discipline for His purposes.

Looking at the spread of Islamic fascism today in the light of eschatology, I feel that God will be using the Koranimals as one of the tools for His final judgement upon this world.

That being said, I still feel that deadly force is always appropriate to protect the innocent; however the spread of Islamic evil may be inevitable.

I personally believe that all of God’s people will be raptured away before it gets really bad.
