CNNs Scott Jennings stranded in Israel as Iranian missiles rain down: Jarring

Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings is stranded in Israel as the country exchanges airstrikes with Iran.Jennings was in the Jewish State to visit the site of the Oct.7 attack and report on the Hamas hostages when Iran launched its retaliatory missile attack on Friday night.“It’s pretty jarring.

I’ve seen two rounds of missiles tonight,” Jennings told Jake Tapper at midnight Friday.“About two seconds after I walked outside, I saw these appear in the sky and then a little while later another barrage came and we saw a number of missiles, we saw a number of intercepts take place as well,” he continued.“And at that time, we heard air raid sirens, so it was much closer — really right overhead.

And at that point, we were shuffled down into a bomb shelter in the bottom of the hotel.”Jennings recorded video of Iran’s missile launch from the roof of his hotel on the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel, roughly 100 miles north of the attack’s target on Tel Aviv.“Not joking now, please everybody inside,” a man can be heard saying in the background.Iran reportedly launched around 200 missiles, some of which Israel and the US failed to intercept.At least three people were killed in the attack, including a 73-year-old man.Israel has since shut down its airports indefinitely, leaving Jennings stranded in the country.Iran launched the airstrike in retaliation for Israel’s surprise attack earlier in the day, which targeted the country’s nuclear plants and killed at least 20 senior Iranian commanders.Both Israel and Iran said their attacks would continue, raising the prospect of another protracted Mideast conflict — with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating Friday that his objective was to eliminate any Iranian threat to Israel....
