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
