“While reporting live from Eilat this morning, we witnessed a missile launch from our vantage point on the balcony,” Becker recounted during the broadcast.
“The launch was incredibly close and the sound was deafening,” he added.
“In our location, which is just a short 10-minute distance from the Jordanian border, we didn’t hear any warning alarms. We had only recently crossed into Israel when the explosion echoed around us, and the sky filled with smoke,” Becker described.
“This exchange of fire between Israel and Iran is happening across various regions as both nations engage in ongoing missile strikes,” he explained.
“This marks the second day of attacks, with Israel asserting its aerial dominance—a claim vividly demonstrated by what we just witnessed,” Becker concluded.
The US and Israel continued to strike Iran for a second day after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday.
The US revealed overnight that three service members had been killed as part of Operation Epic Fury, which President Donald Trump said was ahead of schedule and “moving along rapidly”.
Israel struck at “the heart of Tehran” on Sunday and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of “growing intensity” in the coming days.
Iran has vowed to avenge the death of its supreme leader, launching a wave of retaliatory attacks targeting Israel and US military bases in the region, as well as the Saudi capital and Dubai.
