is currently in Israel and taking shelter after the country launched a major military strike on Iran Friday night, triggering a wave of retaliatory missile attacks.
Jenner had travelled to Israel to attend the Pride Month parade in Tel Aviv scheduled for Saturday. But as tensions escalated rapidly between Israel and Iran, she found herself in the midst of the conflict.
On Friday evening, Jenner posted updates from bomb shelters in Tel Aviv as Iranian missiles struck multiple sites in the city.
"We are back in the shelters in Tel Aviv. This looks like it is the third wave of attack from Iran," Jenner wrote in one X post.
Earlier in the day, Jenner had shared a photo from the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem with a message of solidarity with Israel. "Yesterday in Jerusalem. My heart is with Israel now and forever. Evil shall not prevail!" she wrote, adding Israeli and US flag emojis.
As the situation escalated Friday night, Jenner also posted a photo of missiles streaking across the Tel Aviv skyline during the Iranian counterattack.
In another widely shared post, an Israeli man named Regev Gur shared a photo showing Jenner inside a bomb shelter, casually drinking a glass of wine. "What were you doing with the alarms? Because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn," Gur's caption read in translation.
The missile strike launched by Iran caused significant damage in parts of Tel Aviv, including a heavily damaged neighborhood near Israel's main military headquarters, the Kiryat.

Israeli strike cuts live Iranian broadcast mid-air
During the broadcast, a presenter warned of 'aggression against the homeland' and mentioned the studio was filled with dust read more Advertisement Smoke rises up after an explosion in Tehran, Iran. AP Iran's national broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) abruptly cut a live news segment on Monday after an Israeli airstrike reportedly struck its headquarters in central Tehran. During the broadcast, a presenter warned of 'aggression against the homeland' and mentioned the studio was filled with dust. Moments later, an explosion interrupted the broadcast, and the anchor fled the scene, cutting the screen behind her. The feed quickly switched to pre-recorded programming. The strike came about an hour after Israel issued evacuation warnings to residents in central Tehran, including the area housing state TV, police headquarters, and three hospitals. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Israeli military officials claimed that up to 330,000 people were affected by the alert and said they had achieved 'full aerial superiority' over Tehran. Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin of the Israeli military said airstrikes had destroyed over 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers—about a third of Iran's total arsenal—and targeted 10 Quds Force command centers in the capital. The military called the strikes a 'deep and comprehensive blow to the Iranian threat.' Iran retaliated by firing around 100 missiles, vowing further responses to Israeli attacks that have reportedly killed at least 224 people in the country since Friday. Meanwhile, a missile landed near the U.S. consulate in Tel Aviv, causing minor damage but no injuries, according to Ambassador Mike Huckabee. In total, more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones have been launched by Iran since the escalation began, killing at least 24 in Israel and injuring over 500, Israeli officials said.
