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.

Israel Fights Also for Us

When a society can no longer distinguish between good and evil, between victim and perpetrator, it gives up. This dynamic is one of the great constants of human history. It is a lesson people in free societies — and people in totalitarian societies who yearn to be free — should keep in mind during the climactic showdown underway in the Middle East. Israel has struck a blow to prevent Iran from developing nuclear bombs — weapons that it might credibly use toward its stated goal of removing Israel from the planet. Make no mistake: This is not simply a matter of regional security. Nor should it be a proxy for whether one supports or opposes the current Israeli government's policy on Gaza or other subjects. This conflict is a central front in a global contest in which the forces of tyranny and violence in recent years have been gaining ground against the forces of freedom, which too often are demoralized and divided. In a world full of bad actors, Iran is the most aggressive and dangerous totalitarian force of our time. Its leaders seek to weaken and destroy free society, democracy and human rights with Russian and Chinese support. In Iran, women are systematically oppressed and abused. Homosexuals are murdered. Those who think differently are imprisoned and tortured. In Tehran, the cynical abuse of the civilian population in Gaza as human shields is also cold-bloodedly conceived and financed. According to official state doctrine, the primary goal of the mullahs in Tehran is the annihilation of the State of Israel. Ayatollah Khamenei has described Israel as a 'cancerous tumor.' And clocks in the streets of Tehran celebrate countdowns to the 'destruction of Israel.' But Israel is only the first target. Once Israel falls, Europe and America will be the focus. Radical Sunni and Shiite Islamism has been preparing for this for decades. The fatwa against Salman Rushdie, 9/11, the attacks in Paris, the caliphate of ISIS — each event was a warning sign. Only those who did not want to see the signs are surprised today. The attacks are directed against our values, our way of life. It is therefore surprising that Israel is not being celebrated worldwide for its historic, extremely precise and necessary strike against Iranian nuclear weapons facilities and for the targeted killing of leading terrorists, but that the public response is dominated by anti-Israel propaganda. The intelligence and precision of Israel's actions are not admired but are instead used here and there to perpetuate blatantly antisemitic stereotypes. This attitude is characterized not only by racist undertones, but also by a strange self-forgetfulness. If the perpetrator-victim reversal that has been repeatedly observed since Oct. 7 applies even in the most obvious case — Iran — then this can only be interpreted to mean that we are in the process of losing the culture war, which in reality has long since become a war of civilizations. And we seem to have no problem with that. It is what Michel Houellebecq called 'submission' in his visionary novel 10 years ago. As someone who has 40 years' experience as a journalist and publishing executive, I believe every government should be questioned critically about all the details of its policies — above all on matters of war and its consequences. But those details should not be allowed to obscure larger historical truths. Perhaps a German of my generation has a useful vantage point. Born in 1963, I grew up in a country and continent still shadowed by World War II and its crimes, including an effort by Germany to eradicate Jews across Europe. The first half of my journalism career saw freedom on the march. The Soviet Union collapsed, authoritarian governments across Eastern Europe were routed, Germany was reunited under democracy. The second half of my career, however, with authoritarianism on the rise in all directions — with governments hostile to the very idea of journalism, as well as democracy, pluralism, rule of law and basic standards of decency. These unwelcome developments highlighted how fragile the triumphs of the late 20th century may be in the 21st. The contest between free societies and murderous tyrants is enduring. That's why warnings of dangerous escalation that can be heard from politicians in the West are particularly misplaced. The argument is as stale as it is false. Those warning of escalation are to blame for Vladimir Putin being on the verge of winning his terrible war of conquest in Ukraine. And those warning of escalation are to blame for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. This could have been prevented with decisive resistance from the West in the first days of the attack. Dictators decide for themselves when to escalate. Usually when they do not encounter enough strength and resistance. This also applies to Iran. If Israel does not achieve its goals — destruction of the nuclear facilities, maximum weakening of the terrorist regime and, ideally, the removal of the mullahs — the world will quickly look very different. China will seize this historic opportunity to annex Taiwan sooner than expected. Largely without resistance. The moment is favorable. Because America and Europe cannot win a three-front war and therefore cannot fight it. But if the anti-democratic triangle — China, Russia, Iran — succeeds in this coup, a different, non-democratic world order will prevail. That is why America and Europe, in their own interests alone, must stand united with Israel and do everything in their power to ensure that this historic liberation is achieved. This morning, my son asked me a question: 'In the near future, will Israel become more like us, living in peace, or will we become more like Israel?' It depends. It depends on us.
