In January and February 2009, there was a series of two air strikes in Sudan and one in the Red Sea (code-named "Birds of Prey"),[1] allegedly conducted by Israel against Iranian arms being smuggled to the Gaza Strip through Sudan.[2][3] The Israeli government hinted that Israeli forces were involved in the incident.[4][5]
