At least try googling before making a comment like that. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Sudan_airstrikes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Sudan_airstr

  I don't need googling I was on active reserve duty during the 2009 strikes. The strike earlier this year that were reported by an ISIS affiliated group in the Sinai which were attributed to Israel were executed using attack helicopters even ISIS's own media reported as such, drones were used as they are always are for intelligence, tracking and BDA and in many cases for closing the shooter loop. Israeli AH-64 are also equipped with SPIKE NLOS which has a range of 25KM rather than the 8K (or well 4KM as far as the AGM-114 that Israel is allowed to buy) that the Hellfire can do, this allows Israel to engage targets at a distance sufficient for political cover including over the border when needed. When longer ranges are required Delilah or potentially the SPICE 1000/ER (SPICE doesn't have terminal AAL capabilities which are currently mandated by the legal guidelines in Israel, but if the target is outside of the territories it can potentially be used) can be used to increasing the range to 100-250KM which allows Israel to engage from international airspace or from within a "friendly nation". Please stop basing your entire worldview on Google and not to mention wikipedia, neither are particularly a reliable source.
