A barrage of ballistic missiles on Israel forced a television reporter to take cover as he shouted for his colleagues to urgently move to safety.
Fox News reporter Trey Yingst was standing on a balcony as short-range missiles behind him appeared to come closer before being intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system.
The footage of the incident preceded a night in which Israel and Iran traded fire, with explosions heard in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Tehran.
Andrew Borene, the executive director for global security at the threat intelligence firm Flashpoint, told Newsweek that escalation was likely.

The Fox News footage of Israel's air defenses showed the extent of Iran's retaliation to Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities and military bases in the Islamic republic on Friday. Israel's attack killed senior commanders and scientist. The air strike exchange between the countries has raised the alarm over how the conflict may escalate.
What To Know
While reporting on a balcony, Yingst said Tel Aviv was facing a "massive amount of fire."
The blasts behind him could be seen getting closer as Israel's Iron Dome targeted the missiles, but the Fox News reporter raised concerns that some were not being intercepted.
Yingst shouted instructions to his production team to prepare for a hasty exit. "Right, let's go, time to go," he said, adding, "Everyone move now."
When reporting from indoors later, Yingst said he had not seen such an attack on an Israeli city in the seven years he had reported from the Middle East.
Overnight Friday, ballistic missiles hit parts of Israel as alerts sounded for the public to take shelter in the strikes, which Israeli emergency services said killed at least two people and injured dozens.

Iran's attack followed Israel's strike on sites in Iran. The Israeli military said its air force had hit "dozens" of targets in Tehran overnight, including surface-to-air missile infrastructure. Iran's representative to the United Nations said 78 people were killed in Israeli strikes and at least 320 injured, most of whom were civilians.
Borene, a former senior staff officer at the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said hostilities would get more intense and that Iran's response could include regional ballistic missiles and drones attacks, cyberattacks, or "most concerning, expanding active terrorism worldwide."
He said it was highly unlikely that any other regional players would enter the fray, with Iran's closest allies being not states but proxies—such as Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas.
What People Are Saying
Fox News reporter Trey Yingst said during a live report: "There's a massive amount of fire coming to Tel Aviv right now. … Guys, come on, everyone move."
Andrew Borene, the executive director for global security at Flashpoint, told Newsweek: "There's no clear calculus for what happens next—'If Israel does X, Iran will do Y.' … What's most likely now is further escalation, both on the ground and in the darkest corners of the web, before any calm."
What Happens Next
The Israel Defense Forces said the country's air force would resume striking targets in Iran. IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir and Israeli Air Force Chief Major General Tomer Bar said in a joint statement on Saturday, "The way to Iran has been paved."
Borene said the attacks marked the opening of yet another rapidly expanding flash point within the global context of a new hybrid cold war.

Daughter of assassinated civil rights leader sees painful echoes of political violence in America
Jackson, Miss. (AP) — More than 60 years after a white supremacist assassinated civil rights leader Medgar Evers, his daughter still sees the same strain of political violence at work in American society. 'It's painful,' said Reena Evers-Everette. 'It's very painful.' Evers-Everette was 8 years old when her father, a field secretary for the NAACP, was shot to death in the driveway of his home in Jackson, Mississippi. A few months after Evers' killing in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was gunned down. The deaths of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy followed later that decade. Now, experts say the level of political violence in America over the past few years is likely the highest it's been since the 1960s and 1970s. The past year alone has seen the assassination of a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband, the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers, and two assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. At a four-day conference celebrating Evers' life just before what would have been his 100th birthday on July 2, his daughter was joined by the daughters of slain civil rights leaders: Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, and Bettie Dahmer, the daughter of civil and voting rights activist Vernon Dahmer. The 2025 Democracy in Action Convening, 'Medgar Evers at 100: a Legacy of Justice, a Future of Change,' was held in Jackson. 'I just was feeling so much pain, and I didn't want anyone else to have to go through that,' Kennedy said, recalling that after her father died, she prayed for the man who killed him. 'I was saying, 'Please don't — please don't kill the guy that killed him.'' Two-time Georgia gubernatorial candidate and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams spoke at the event, denouncing efforts by the Trump administration to strip the names of activists from Navy vessels, including possibly Evers. 'They want to take his name off a boat because they don't want us to have a reminder of how far he sailed us forward,' Abrams told the conference crowd. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has undertaken an effort to change the names of ships and military bases that were given by President Joe Biden's Democratic administration, which often honored service members who were women, people of color, or from the LGBTQ+ community. Abrams drew parallels between acts of radical political violence and the Trump administration's use of military resources against protesters in Los Angeles who were demonstrating against immigration enforcement actions. 'Unfortunately, we cannot decry political violence and then sanction the sending of the Marines and the National Guard to stop protesters and not believe that that conflicting message doesn't communicate itself,' Abrams told The Associated Press. 'What I want us to remember is that whether it is Medgar Evers or Melissa Hortman, no one who is willing to speak for the people should have their lives cut short because of what they say.'

Iran prepared to mine Strait of Hormuz last month amid Israel tensions, say US sources: Report
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 2, 2025, 09:35 IST Iran's military loaded naval mines onto vessels in the Persian Gulf last month, raising concerns within Washington that Tehran was preparing to blockade the Strait of Hormuz following Israeli strikes on Iranian sites, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing two US officials familiar with the matter. The mine-loading activity, which had not been publicly disclosed earlier, took place shortly after Israel launched a missile attack on Iran on June 13. The US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the intelligence, stated that the mines have not been deployed but their movement indicates serious Iranian consideration of blocking the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most vital shipping lanes, with nearly 20% of global oil and gas shipments passing through it. Any disruption could have sent global energy prices soaring. However, oil prices have fallen by more than 10% since US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, largely due to relief that shipping through the strait has remained unaffected. Following US airstrikes on June 22 that targeted three key Iranian nuclear sites, Iran's parliament reportedly supported a non-binding resolution to close the strait. However, the final decision rests with Iran's Supreme National Security Council, as noted by Iran's Press TV. Historically, Iran has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz during periods of heightened geopolitical tension but has never acted on those threats. Reuters reported that it remains unclear whether the mines remain aboard the Iranian vessels or if they have since been removed. US intelligence gathering on the matter likely involved satellite imagery, human intelligence, or a combination of both, the sources added.
