Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic gold medalist and prominent conservative influencer, is currently trapped in Israel amid escalating conflict following an Iranian missile strike on Thursday night. Jenner had traveled to Tel Aviv to participate in the city’s annual Pride Month parade, but instead found herself seeking shelter as Iran launched a series of retaliatory attacks.
On Friday evening, Jenner posted on social media about taking cover in a Tel Aviv bomb shelter during what she described as “the third wave of attack from Iran.” She shared several posts showing the chaos on the ground, including photos of missiles streaking across the skyline and scenes from inside bomb shelters.
Earlier that day, Jenner had posted a photo from the Western Wall in Jerusalem, expressing solidarity with Israel. “Yesterday in Jerusalem. My heart is with Israel now and forever. Evil shall not prevail!” she wrote, adding Israeli and U.S. flag emojis.
As air raid sirens blared across Tel Aviv, Jenner was photographed drinking wine in a shelter with local resident Regev Gur. Gur shared the image online with a caption translated as, “What were you doing with the alarms? Because I’m drinking wine with Caitlyn.”
The missile strikes, which targeted several Israeli cities, caused widespread destruction and injuries. Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reported from a heavily damaged neighborhood near Israel’s military headquarters, the Kiryat, describing buildings with flooded floors and shattered facades.
Emergency services responded swiftly. According to Magen David Adom, 34 people were injured in the attacks, including:
-
A woman in her 60s who was critically injured
-
A man in his 60s seriously wounded
-
Two individuals in their 50s with moderate injuries
-
Over 30 others with minor injuries from debris
-
13 people treated for anxiety-related symptoms
All victims were transported to nearby hospitals as the country braced for potential further escalations.
Jenner’s posts continue to draw widespread attention as the international community watches the growing conflict closely.
