Stranded in Israel amid airstrikes, Caitlyn Jenner sips wine in bomb shelter and says, ‘Pray for us’

Caitlyn Jenner stranded in Israel

Tel Aviv has been on alert after Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles late at night. Jenner took to X (previously Twitter) to reassure followers about her safety. “Quiet night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all. We will prevail. I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever,” she wrote alongside a photo on social media, seemingly from her hotel, showing plumes of smoke rising below. Caitlyn later updated her fans that she was taking shelter as the situation in the country worsened. “We are back in the shelters in Tel Aviv. This looks like it is the third wave of attack from Iran.”

The 75-year-old also mentioned speaking to her daughter Kylie Jenner, “I spoke with Kylie, and she urged me to stay safe. I reassured her.” Later, she was photographed drinking a glass of wine in a bomb shelter with an Israeli influencer. The image was shared by Regev Gur’s X handle. Speaking to a local TV outlet later, she reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep myself safe, and they’ll take care of me.” During her trip, Caitlyn also visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem earlier and documented the experience on social media. Her post read, “My heart is here, with the beautiful people, in Israel.”

Israel-Iran conflict escalates

Tensions have peaked in the Middle East over the past day after the Israeli military launched a full-scale attack on Iran’s air defence system. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, accused Israel of starting the war and declared, “The Iranian nation must be guaranteed that our response will not be half-measured.” He vowed that the country would “inflict heavy blows” on Israel. According to CNN, Israel’s attack on Iran resulted in the death of around 78 people, including senior military officials. Around 320 people were left injured, and the underground nuclear site at Natanz is reported to have been impacted because of the strike.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken shelter in a bunker alongside Defence Minister Israel Katz. More explosions were heard in Jerusalem on Saturday morning (India time) “An additional barrage of missiles was launched toward the State of Israel,” Israel’s defence force said in a statement.
