Michael Yon discusses the vulnerability of the Panama Canal to sabotage, noting a lack of physical defenses at the locks. He references a 2020 incident where a ship hit a rail bridge in Gamboa as a potential example of how easily the canal could be blocked. Yon links the security of the Panama Canal to other global choke points, such as the Suez Canal and the Bab al-Mandab, which are currently threatened by Houthi attacks.
