Caitlyn Jenner, stuck in Israel after Iran strike, posts pictures of chaos and shelter

Fox News13-06-2025
Former U.S. men's Olympics gold medalist and current transgender conservative influencer Caitlyn Jenner is trapped in Israel after the nation initiated a strike on Iran Thursday night.
Jenner traveled to the country to attend the Pride Month parade in Tel Aviv scheduled for Friday.
Jenner shared several social media posts declaring allegiance with Israel and showing sites of the country and subsequent chaos.
On Friday evening, Jenner posted about being in bomb shelters in Tel Aviv as Iran launches retaliatory missile strikes against 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 a post on Instagram and X Friday morning, Jenner shared a photo from the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem with a caption that said, "Yesterday in Jerusalem. My heart is with Israel now and forever. Evil shall not prevail!" The post included Israeli and U.S. flag emoji.
In a post later Friday, Jenner shared a photo of missiles flying through the Tel Aviv skyline during Iran's retaliation strike.
Later on Friday, an Israeli man named Regev Gur posted a photo showing Jenner drinking a glass of wine in a bomb shelter.
"What were you doing with the alarms? Because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn," a translation of Gur's caption said.
An Iranian missile strike Friday night hit cities across Israel, causing serious damage and dozens of injuries.
Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, reporting live, described a heavily damaged neighborhood near Israel's military headquarters, the Kiryat.
He said emergency crews were rushing into buildings to search for people who might still be trapped. Glass covered the sidewalks, and some building floors were either flooded or destroyed.
"One floor was flooded and another completely exploded," Yingst reported, after speaking with a woman named Noya who was inside the building during the blast. She said the explosion was so powerful it shook the entire building, injuring people and leaving parts of it burned and flooded.
According to Magen David Adom, 34 people were injured in the strikes. A woman in her 60s was critically hurt. A man in his 60s was seriously injured. A man and a woman in their 50s were moderately wounded. Another 30 people had light injuries from the blast and falling debris. Thirteen more were treated for anxiety. All were taken to hospitals.

Thursday Briefing: Israel's Planned Offensive

Israel prepared an assault on Gaza City Israeli officials said yesterday that the military was moving forward with plans to take over Gaza City. Even after nearly two years of war, the city and its surrounding neighborhoods remain a stronghold for Hamas, an official said. An Israeli military official said that troops had reached the city's outskirts and that tents were being moved into southern Gaza for people who would be displaced once the operation begins. The plan called for troops to encircle the city, allow the population to move south through checkpoints to catch militants, then move in with force. About 60,000 reservists would be called to backfill troops sent to Gaza City, and 20,000 would have their orders extended. The buildup began as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weighed a cease-fire proposal, agreed upon by Hamas, that would ensure the release of some hostages. In Israel, the families of hostages are worried that Hamas would kill them in response to the offensive, while hard-right politicians threatened to quit the government if Netanyahu were to accept the cease-fire deal. In Gaza City, thousands considered moving to the central or southern parts of the territory. But many of the city's inhabitants have already relocated repeatedly — some said they won't do so again.

Tehran accuses Israel of assasination attempt on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian

A senior Iranian political official told state media that an IDF strike on an Iranian national security council meeting was an attempt on Pezeshkian's life. Israel tried to assassinate Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the 12-day war in June, according to Mohsen Haji-Mirzaei, Pezeshkian's chief of staff. Israel launched a wave of strikes against Iranian leaders and nuclear infrastructure during the war. An Israeli attack on June 16 had targeted a Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) meeting in Tehran and was 'a calculated plan to kill Pezeshkian,' Haji-Mirzaei told Iranian state television on Friday. Pezeshkian was lightly wounded in his leg after six missiles or bombs slammed into the compound hosting the council, he said. Israel deliberately targeted the entrances and ventilation systems of the building to block escape routes and suffocate those inside, according to Fars News Agency, which has close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Among the senior officials present at the meeting were Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, head of the armed forces. Momeni had struggled to breathe after inhaling dust, and Mousavi came out with his uniform torn and his body covered in ash and rubble, Haji-Mirzaei said. Pezeshkian managed to walk out on his own, take a shower, and later meet with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, before visiting a doctor the following day, he said. 'Israel wanted him dead, but fate did not allow it,' he added. Was Pezeshkian the target? The targeting of Iran's top decision-making body was particularly striking given the role the SNSC has played since its creation in the early years of the Islamic Republic. Established to oversee national defense and foreign policy, it is chaired by the president but operates under the supervision of the supreme leader. During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the council helped coordinate military strategy. An Israeli strike on the SNSC represents not just a military escalation but an unprecedented attempt to decapitate Iran's leadership in one blow, an approach rarely seen even in Israel's long history of targeted assassinations against Iranian commanders, nuclear scientists, and proxies abroad, according to some analysts. For Tehran, Pezeshkian's survival became a symbol of resilience. Yet it also highlighted the vulnerability of Iran's leadership structure to external attack. For Israel, the campaign achieved significant tactical gains, but it also risked drawing the US deeper into a regional confrontation. Solve the daily Crossword
