Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst was forced to flee live on air as Iranian missiles rained down on Tel Aviv, Israel, on Friday night.
Yingst, reporting from a balcony, was abruptly cut off as Israel’s Iron Dome defense system intercepted incoming ballistic missiles. Moments later, intense roaring sounds signaled danger, prompting Yingst and his crew to seek shelter.
Israel had earlier warned that “dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles” were headed to the country. Iranian state media confirmed the launch of hundreds of missiles, and Supreme Leader Khamenei reportedly claimed Israel initiated the conflict.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that it struck “dozens of targets forcefully and with precision.” Tehran had vowed “painful revenge” for a previous Israeli drone strike on a nuclear facility.
Smoke filled Tel Aviv skies, with residents ordered into bomb shelters. An Israeli military official told The New York Times that seven sites were hit. Authorities have not yet confirmed any casualties.
