You name any country in the Mid-East and I tend to think sand, sand and goat herders living in tents. And then I see pictures of downtown areas filled with big buildings and cars and I am shocked. This has happened many times so you might think I would have gotten used to it, but I haven't. I'm still shocked every time I see an image like this.
Okay, this image has a fireball front and center, but with as many conflicts as we have going on in the world and with everybody and their mother carrying a camera around in their pocket, it's not that unusual. Good shot with the camera, though.
The Israeli air strike was directed at the Houthi leadership.
Sanaa (or Sana'a) is at 7,500 feet of elevation, as is Abha in Saudi Arabia, which is just over 200 miles north of Sanaa.
