I wonder how they managed to target these guys after previous attacks, both by Israel and the USA, appeared to be largely ineffective. Was it a serendipitous opportunity or does it reflect progress on establishing an intelligence network in Yemen?
very easily, previously these guys weren’t a target. asm launchers were, but these can get hidden in a cave rather quickly
Cnn title getting dumber and dumber
Seems ok to me. They need to distinguish between the opposing governments, and they’re reporting what the Houthis have said because they don’t have confirmation from trusted sources.
They could simply say houthis government’s prime minister was assasinated by israel
They don’t know it. They’d have egg on their face if it turned out he wasn’t dead or died some other way.
The choice to include that it was an airstrike instead of a gunshot, blade, poison, or a hand grenade is an editorial choice. It certainly answers one of the first questions which would form in the reader’s mind.
My problem is x-backed. You never see that when refering to isrsel which is a proxy for american imperliasm
