Shocking moment reporter is forced to run for cover as Iran fire attack on Israel

A journalist was forced to flee live on air after Iran lodged its retaliatory attack on Israel’s Tel Aviv city.

Trey Yingst, chief foreign correspondent at Fox News, ended his broadcast after ballistic missiles rained over the sky on Friday night (June 13).

He was on a balcony at the time, giving live updates on the tension between the two nations when Israel’s Iron Dome defence system began to shoot down a hailstorm of missiles.

However, some were able to break through the defences, putting Yingst and his crew in danger.

They fled for cover as what seemed to be two missiles hitting the city, after Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei promised that 'life will be dark' for Israel after it attacked Iran's nuclear sites and military officials just hours earlier.

After their nuclear sites were decimated, Iran vowed to deliver ‘painful revenge’, with state media reporting that hundreds of missiles were fired to the opposing nation.

In a statement from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the military claimed to have struck Israel 'forcefully and with precision'.

However, Iran may not be finished as Israeli military said more cities are under threat of being hit, as 'another barrage of dozens of missiles [were] fired at Israel'.

An Israeli military official told the New York Times that missiles struck seven sites, but it is unknown how many more cities are on the target list, nor is it known how many casualties there have been.

The night time attack began after Israel attacked Iran’s top nuclear and military sites, leading to Khamenei declaring that they ‘should not think they have attacked and it's over'.

“Life will be dark for them,” Khamenei said. “They started it, they started a war. We will not allow them to escape this big crime unharmed. Iran’s armed forces will definitely be striking hard.”

Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, said in a statement that Iran 'crossed a red line' by hitting civilian locations.

The attack comes just one day after US President Donald Trump weighed in on Israel’s missiles striking Iranian nuclear sites.

Israel called the attack 'Operation Rising Lion', which also killed officials and military scientists.

"Everyone move, now!"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the move, calling it a 'targeted operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival'.

Iran's initial response was to launch 100 drones at Israel, which the Israeli military claimed it intercepted.

But before they launched the real retaliation, Donald Trump has commented on the attacks, issuing a grim warning to Iran if it does not bow to a nuke deal.

Posting Truth Social platform, the 78-year-old said he'd given Iran many chances to make a nuclear deal, to no avail.

"I told them, in the strongest of words, to 'just do it', but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done," he wrote.

Trump suggested that Israel, who has access to US military equipment, could attack them further if no deal is made.

"Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all dead now, and it will only get worse," he wrote.

"There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.

"Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction."
