After allegedly stabbing his parents to death, a Staten Island man has escaped to Israel, sources said.
Eric Bellucci, 30, took his parent's Honda pickup truck and drove to Newark Airport, where he boarded a flight to Israel.
Israeli cops, with help from the NYPD, are hunting him Bellucci, law enforcement sources told The Post today.
Bellucci, boarded an El Al Airlines flight at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday and landed in Tel Aviv this morning, the sources said.
Police said he remains the only suspect in the case.
His parents, Arthur Bellucci, 61, and Marion Bellucci, 56, were found dead inside their home in the Annadale section.

Bellucci's sister, Vanessa Bellucci, 25, went to her family's home on Poillon Avenue around 8 p.m. Wednesday because she had not heard from her parents in at least a day.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw blood in the vestibule and called 911. Cops found the bodies.
"It was a real mess, they were pretty torn up," said a police official. "Father was in really bad condition."
Cops recovered a bloody knife inside the home.
The devastated daughter told cops that her brother lived at the home and had at least three shotguns and a rifle, police said.
Vanessa, a law student, had recently moved out of the house because she was afraid of her increasingly volatile brother, a relative said.
"He was getting strange and delusional. The other night they called an ambulance for him," said Marian's brother-in-law, Joe Ciervo.
There is an extradition treaty between Israel and the United States. It also appears that Bellucci is neither Jewish nor an Israeli citizen.
According to a source, Bellucci has a friend who lives in Tel Aviv. There’s no indication the friend knew he was coming or was aware of the murders.
Last month, cops were called to the house because of Eric's erratic behavior and he had earlier been hospitalized for his mental illness. Cops were once called to his house in 2008.
Eric and his mother had operated a New Jersey home health care company called Caremates.
