FOX News reporter Trey Yingst has been seen running for his life while reporting live on air as Iranian missiles struck Israel on Friday.
Yingst yelled at his team to take cover as his camera crew showed the panicked moment that the missile attack reached Tel Aviv.
During a missile attack at approximately 9 pm local time on Friday, bright fireballs descended from the sky, while thick smoke plumes rose, accompanied by the rumble of explosions echoing across the city.
Yingst, Fox News’ chief foreign correspondent, was reporting from the scene as the missiles could be seen from far away.
“There’s a massive amount of fire coming to Tel Aviv right now,” Yingst said calmly at the beginning of the video.
Missiles could be heard screeching in the distance.
The energy in the broadcast then turned tense as explosions lit up the sky and Yingst said, “Time to go!”
“Guys, come on, everyone move!” he yelled.
He told his crew to grab their equipment and go as the cameras jostled.
A man could be heard shouting instructions behind Yingst.
After the panicked broadcast, Yingst posted on social media.
“Just getting a moment to post here,” he wrote on X.
“As you saw in our reporting, a massive ballistic missile barrage targeted central Israel.
“We could see impacts and many interceptions.”
Yingst later appeared on Fox News again to speak about the missile attack.
Multiple people were injured in the blitz in Tel Aviv on Friday night.
Which Iranian military chiefs and scientists were killed?
ISRAEL has dealt a major blow to Iran’s command chain – wiping out several of its top brass.
Key nuclear scientists have also been eliminated in Israel’s overnight strikes.
Those killed include:
Generals
- Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the armed forces and the second-highest commander after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
- Gen. Hossein Salami, commander in chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps
- Gen. Gholamali Rashid, deputy commander in chief of the armed forces
- Ali Shamkhan, key adviser and confidant of Khamenei
- Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces
Nuclear scientists
- Fereydoun Abbasi, the former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran
- Dr Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, theoretical physicist and president of the Islamic Azad University in Tehran
While some missiles landed, others burned up in the sky while being intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems.
Explosions were reported in Tel Aviv and Ramle.
Air raid sirens sounded across Israel as the missiles were launched in retaliation for deadly Israeli attacks.
Just hours earlier, Israel launched strikes across Iran targeting nuclear sites.
The attacks killed at least three top Iranian military officers.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed there would be a “powerful response” as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel to brace for impact.
The strikes and retaliatory attacks are massive escalations in long-running tensions between Iran and Israel.
