OCCUPIED JURUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli warplanes raided a car off the Sudanese Red Sea harbor of Port Sudan on Tuesday night and killed two men who were inside it, a Hebrew press report said on Wednesday.

Yediot Ahronot quoted foreign sources as saying that an Israeli warplane carried out the raid.

Mohammed Taher, the governor of the Sudanese Red Sea province, said that an unknown warplane blasted a car in the outskirts of Port Sudan, destroying the vehicle and killing its passengers.

He said that the unknown plane came from the Red Sea then returned via the same route at 10 pm local time (7 pm GMT).

A source at Port Sudan harbor told Reuters that he heard the sound of three explosions, and quoted an eyewitness as saying that he saw two burnt bodies one inside the car and the other outside it.

Israeli warplanes blasted a convoy in the same area in January 2009 killing 119 persons, claiming that they were smuggling weapons to the Gaza Strip.
