Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst caught the terrifying moment on camera when Iran retaliated against Israel and dropped missiles on Tel Aviv.

On February 28, President Donald Trump confirmed in a video posted on his Truth Social platform that the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes against Iran. During the eight-minute clip, Trump claimed that Iran’s “menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world.”

“For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted ‘Death to America’ and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed,” he went on, before warning the Islamic Revolutionary Guard to “lay down their arms” or they would “face certain death.”

 

During Fox News‘ broadcast, Yingst reported on Iran’s retaliation against Israel. The camera was pointed at the night sky.

Multiple explosions could be seen mid-air and heard in echoing, loud booms.

The Fox News correspondent explained to Special Report host Bret Baier and to the viewers what was happening in Tel Aviv.

“Bret, that flash on the screen, that — you’re watching it live right now,” Yingst said, as his voice sounded shaky from the chaos outside.

“These are the incoming Iranian ballistic missiles, the explosions in the distance there, you can see they are igniting the sky as Israel’s missile defense system works to intercept this incoming fire.

“Those booms in the distance!” the correspondent continued.

“We saw eight or nine interceptors come off from different directions.

“This was the largest barrage of ballistic missiles towards central Israel that we’ve seen since this war began.

“You’re watching live as they are now intercepted in the distance. And you just hear those booms there,” Yingst continued.

After another loud explosion, he finished with, “You just hear those explosions echoing across the city, Brett.”

As Iran continued retaliating, according to the Fox News chyron, Yingst said, “Massive explosions right now! Rocking Israel’s second-largest city of Tel Aviv! You can hear the car alarms going off!”

The correspondent turned toward the cityscape, his eyes widening. The correspondent continued, “And you’re going to see behind us…” before abruptly stopping.

He interrupted and yelled at the cameraman, “We gotta move!”

After moving away, Yingst added, “There’s a lot of incoming fire right now toward Tel Aviv. And just stay with us. We’re going to stay live with you, but we have to move to cover. The city’s getting hit pretty hard.”

The camera followed Yingst as he hurried down the hallway to the exit. Iran’s retaliation included targeting US and Israeli bases across the Middle East.

On February 27, the Trump administration moved to reduce its footprint in Israel, authorizing non-essential U.S. government staff and their families to leave the country.

The U.S. Department of State urged Americans to “consider leaving Israel while commercial flights are available.”
