Stranded in Israel amid airstrikes, Caitlyn Jenner sips wine in bomb shelter and says, ‘Pray for us'
Caitlyn Jenner travelled to Israel as Pride Parade's guest of honour, but was caught in the middle of rising geopolitical tensions. Massive explosions were heard in Tehran and Tel Aviv as the conflict between the two Middle East neighbours escalated following attacks on nuclear bases and the death of several high-profile Iranian leaders. Iran on Friday launched a retaliatory strike on Israel. Major events, including the Pride Parade, were cancelled due to security concerns. The former Olympian then took to her X account to share an update about the attack, capturing multiple Iranian missiles in the sky, while writing, 'Pray for us.'

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

Caitlyn Jenner's private texts to her children revealed as she guzzles wine in Israel bunker amid Iran missile strike
Caitlyn Jenner was drinking wine and texting members of her family while bombs rained down near her Tel Aviv hotel on Friday night, the Daily Mail can reveal. As Iran pounded Israel with ballistic missiles in a counterstrike, the 75-year-old former Olympian told loved ones that she is taking every precaution to stay safe. 'Please pray,' the former Olympian texted one family member from a secure area. 'I'm holding up okay.' When asked if the bombs were loud, Jenner merely responded 'yes.' The family member told the Daily Mail that Jenner had phone service throughout the first wave of the attack and handed situation calmly. She even posed for a photo holding a glass of red wine with influencer Regev Gur. Jenner was in Tel Aviv to headline Friday's Pride parade, and posted photos of herself in some of the region's most iconic spots: Kibbutz Be'eri, the Nova Festival site, and Jerusalem 's Western Wall. In her posts, Jenner expressed support for the country. 'I am excited to share that I will be in Israel this week,' she wrote 'I'm visiting the resilient people of Israel as the nation continues to recover and restore its place in the Middle East. Stay tuned!' 'My heart is here, with the beautiful people, in Israel,' she wrote on another post. Members of Jenner's inner circle say that she had been looking forward to the trip for weeks. 'She was very excited to be there for the parade,' says the family member. 'This was a bucket list item. It was supposed to be a great time.' But the night before the parade, Israel carried out a military strike against Iran, targeting nuclear sites. Organizers cancelled the parade out of safety concerns, but Jenner ended up stranded in the country as airports shut down. On Friday evening, Iran returned fire, raining bombs down across the country, including in Tel Aviv, where Jenner has been staying. Buildings were destroyed and dozens were wounded as some of the missiles broke through Israel's Iron Dome air defense system. Extraordinary photos showed Iranian rockets being intercepted above Tel Aviv skyscrapers as air raid sirens wailed through the streets. 'She told us not to worry,' a family member tells the Daily Mail. 'She says she'll be fine and that Israel will protect her.' Jenner has been in contact with the American Embassy in Tel Aviv, who advised her to shelter in a windowless area near her hotel. As the bombs began to drop, Jenner posted an image of the missile defense system lighting up the skies on social media. ''Quiet' night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all. We will prevail,' the post read. 'I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever.' A post shared on social media showed Jenner drinking wine with social media influencer Regev Gur, in what looked like a bomb shelter. 'And what did you do during the sirens?' the influencer captioned the post, 'because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn.'
