0:00.0 | This is CBSI on the world. I'm John Batchel with Gregory Copley editor and publisher of defense and |
0:08.9 | foreign affairs. The Sound of Guns. There is fog of war here, but the report from Jerusalem in |
0:15.8 | these last hours. IDF, quote, completely disables, end quote, Houthi controlled Sanaa Airport in strikes on Yemen capital. |
0:24.8 | Fighter jets also target power stations, cement factories, two days after the missile fired by |
0:31.0 | Iran back group, Houthi's hit Ben-Gurian airport. |
0:35.2 | What we're looking at here from video that's being provided is a burning |
0:40.2 | airport. All the fleet of airplanes are said to have been destroyed. The power stations for the |
0:45.6 | city may have been destroyed completely. It's unclear at this point if the city of Sana has lights. |
0:54.0 | This is a nation that used to have 26 million people. |

1:37.3 | but not by air. There is no airport. Gregory, the Houthis have been under an air assault by the U.S. Navy for more than a thousand |
1:47.5 | missions, I believe, Centcom is counting. At the same time, the IIAF has now launched attacks |
1:54.3 | against the capital, not against the Houthi missiles, not against their arsenals, but against |
1:59.8 | the infrastructure, taking out electricity |
2:02.1 | and airports. My anticipation here is that the Houthis are going to rise from the dead |
2:09.3 | again and continue to fire missiles. So what is your measure of this situation? Is there a way |
