McCourt says it seems like these people are being fired or reassigned because of fear they will not be loyal to Trump. She says that makes it easier for a president to misuse the Justice Department for his own retribution. NPR's Carrie Johnson, thank you for this reporting, Carrie. My pleasure.

Israel says it hit military targets. It sent 25 fighter jets. They traveled more than 1,200 miles to Yemen. They are saying the airport was hit because it is used by Iranians who back the Houthi rebels to smuggle weapons into the country and used by senior Iranian officials to get into Yemen. Israel also targeted major power stations.

The head of the World Health Organization was actually in the airport waiting to board a flight at the time of the attack and says he was just meters away from where the strike hit.

Right after the attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said such strikes will continue to, quote, "...cut off the terror arm of the Iranian axis of evil and continue until we complete the job," which he added, quote, "...we are only just starting."

It's been going on for months since the war in Gaza began. The Houthis say they won't stop until Israel withdraws from Gaza, where it is fighting Hamas. They also have been targeting cargo ships in the Red Sea. That's important. It's a large conduit for international commerce. This week, though, we just saw an escalation of missiles fired from Yemen.

Air sirens went off just this morning at 3.30 a.m., That missile was intercepted by Israel's air defense system. But one last Saturday actually made it through and landed in Tel Aviv, not far from where I am, injuring dozens. Netanyahu has been threatening to take decisive action against the Houthis for days. And here he is on Wednesday.
