TV cameraman captures shocking moment 7News journalist runs for cover as air strike sirens sound in Israel
Channel 7 has shared the shocking moment an Australian journalist and cameraman took cover as air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv.
In a video uploaded to TikTok, journalist Jacquelin Robson and cameraman James Cannon can be seen running for cover after receiving warning texts of an impending airstrike.
Locals can be seen searching for shelter, with one woman carrying a baby as sirens blare around the group.
As the final siren sounds, the pair shelter between two concrete walls, after realising the nearby bunker is no longer there.
'We've just tried to find a shelter and we've found ourselves stuck out in the open,' Ms Robson said in the video.
'I'm between two concrete brick walls, this is the safest spot I can be.'
Shortly after they shelter, Israeli air defences intercept a missile directly above where the crew is resting.
The pair had been filming north of Tel Aviv when the warning was sent.
Speaking with 7News, Ms Robson said locals had become desensitised to the constant air raids.
'We found the hotel bunker, and it struck me how calm and nonchalant guests were,' she said.
'I would come to understand the sirens sound regularly, and it becomes part of daily life.'
Ms Robson and Mr Cannon arrived in Israel shortly after the nation's first attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
The pair were originally planning on flying into Jordan, however they needed to be redirected to Cairo.
'The stewardess told us the captain saw missiles over the skies of Jordan, forcing the unexpected detour,' Ms Robson said.

Dentist's dodgy acts before death
A dentist who was convicted of fraud in the UK allegedly pressured Australian patients to take tens of thousands of dollars from their superannuation for unnecessary dental work and then withdrew millions from his business before he died of suicide. Former Perth Dental Rooms director David Hurst, 43, took his own life on December 10 last year at the Crown Perth, leaving a path of destruction and a business on the brink of bankruptcy. Lawyers allege Dr Hurst withdrew $7m from the Perth practice before he took his own life. Convicted fraudster David Hurst, pictured with wife Clara, allegedly defrauded patients before his death. There is no suggestion Clara was involved in any wrongdoing. Facebook Credit: Supplied Dr Hurst was previously convicted of defrauding the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK over forged patient declarations. The Cardiff Crown Court found that Dr Hurst stole £15,584 ($A35,553) by submitting fraudulent patient claims while he worked at the Bridgend Dental Centre. He pleaded guilty to 69 counts of theft, receiving a suspended sentence and order to perform 200 hours of community service, in 2012. Two years later he was banned from practising dentistry in the UK by a professional conduct committee. Law firm Slater and Gordon believes about 130 victims were treated by Dr Hurst. Credit: News Limited But the dentist relocated to West Australia, where he was permitted to practise dentistry despite his criminal record. He became a director at the Perth Dental Rooms, where he allegedly defrauded patients before his death. Legal firm Slater and Gordon is representing 20 of Dr Hurt's former patients whom he allegedly persuaded to use their superannuation to pay for expensive and often unnecessary treatments. The lawyers allege some patients paid more than $70,000 upfront for procedures that never occurred and have yet to be reimbursed. Medical law practice leader Sarah Marshman said patients had suffered financial loss, emotional distress and ongoing pain caused by reckless, unfinished and, in some cases, unnecessary dental work. She said the firm heard from patients who were in constant pain, had broken implants, infections and untreated complications. Dr Hurst allegedly withdrew $7m from his business before he took his own life in December. Facebook Credit: Supplied 'For many patients, accessing their superannuation early seemed like a smart way to fund dental treatment,' she said. 'But now they've lost tens of thousands from their retirement savings and are still in pain – physically, financially and emotionally. 'These patients weren't just sold dental procedures. They were sold false hope through aggressive social media advertising and quick access to super. 'They were encouraged to dip into their retirement savings without any real understanding of the tax penalties or medical risks involved.' Ms Marshman urged Australians to think twice before being pressured by aggressive advertising to use super for medical or dental work. Law firm Slater and Gordon urges anyone who was treated or consulted by Dr Hurst to contact them. Credit: Supplied 'We're continuing to gather evidence for a growing number of affected patients and will be seeking accountability for the harm caused,' she said. 'We believe there could be over 130 former patients affected.' An administrator was appointed to Hurst Group Pty Ltd, which traded as the Perth Dental Rooms, in March this year after Dr Hurt's wife Clara stepped in as director. There is no suggestion that she was involved in any wrongdoing. The West reported the Perth Dental Rooms was sold in May but proceeds from the sale were not enough to cover its liabilities. It was reported $2.3m in payments made by patients in advance remain unaccounted for by the Hurst Group. Ms Marshman urged anyone who was treated or consulted by Dr Hurst to contact Slater and Gordon Lawyers. 'Any information received will be treated confidentially and could help bring justice to the victims of David Hurst,' she said.

Assange marks first anniversary of release from prison
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is marking the first anniversary of his release from prison in the UK. His wife Stella said he is working on a project to slow the "rush" towards war. In the early hours of June 24 last year, Assange was transported under custody in a high-security convoy from Belmarsh maximum security prison to Stansted Airport. He had been imprisoned in Belmarsh for more than five years and was detained in the UK for 14 years. He flew on an Australian government jet under formal custody to US federal court in the tiny US overseas territory of Saipan in the Pacific Ocean, refuelling in Bangkok. On June 26, a plea hearing in Saipan formally secured his release, conditional on him immediately leaving the territory. Later that day he landed in Canberra where he was reunited with his family. On the anniversary, Stella Assange said: "We were in Europe for the opening of The Six Billion Dollar Man at Cannes, Pope Francis' funeral, and to try to understand where things are heading - politically and technologically. "Julian has been working on something for several months now, and I hope it can help slow the rush toward war. "Three hundred and sixty-five days have passed, but we are light years away from Belmarsh prison. "To all the supporters who helped make this possible, there are no words to express how grateful we are to have Julian free."
