Former U.S. men’s Olympics gold medalist and current transgender conservative influencer Caitlyn Jenner is in Israel after the nation launched a strike on Iran, which triggered a series of retaliatory missile strikes. Jenner was in the country for the Pride Month parade in Tel Aviv, scheduled for Friday. However, as tensions escalated, Iranian missile strikes began hitting the city, causing widespread chaos.
Jenner documented her experience on social media, sharing photos of the bomb shelters and the devastation caused by the Iranian strikes. In one of her posts, she described the situation in Tel Aviv, noting that it was the third wave of attacks from Iran. She also posted a photo from the Western Wall in Jerusalem, accompanied by a caption expressing her support for Israel. Her posts included both Israeli and U.S. flag emojis, reinforcing her allegiance to the country.
In addition to her social media activity, Jenner shared images of the missiles flying through the Tel Aviv skyline, showcasing the scale of the destruction. However, an Israeli man named Regev Gur captured a photo of her in the shelter, drinking wine, which sparked discussions about the circumstances surrounding her presence in the shelters during the strikes. The image was accompanied by a caption that questioned whether she was following the safety protocols of the bomb shelters.
The Israeli government confirmed that an Iranian missile strike hit several cities, causing serious damage and resulting in dozens of injuries. Emergency crews were reported to be working to rescue people from the rubble, with reports of buildings being either flooded or destroyed. As per Magen David Adom, 34 people were injured, including some critically and seriously wounded individuals. The reports highlighted the severity of the situation as the conflict continued to unfold.
Meanwhile, Fox News’ chief foreign correspondent, Trey Yingst, provided live updates, describing the extensive damage to the area near Israel’s military headquarters, the Kiryat. He reported that emergency personnel were searching for people trapped in the buildings, with some structures described as having been completely destroyed or flooded. The situation was described as extremely dangerous, with the risk of further casualties.
The ongoing conflict has drawn significant media attention, with the impact on civilians and infrastructure being of particular concern. As the situation continues to develop, the focus remains on the safety of those affected and the response efforts from the Israeli government and emergency services.
