Anderson Cooper and his CNN team were forced to evacuate live on air while broadcasting from Israel.
The network star was discussing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East with the network’s chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, and Jerusalem correspondent Jeremy Diamond, when sirens started to ring early Monday morning.
‘I should just say that we’re now hearing an alert,’ Ward said as alarms blared in the background.
Cooper informed the audience that they were all getting an alert saying Israeli forces expected a missile to hit their area in 10 minutes.
‘So these are these are the alerts that go out on all of our phones when you’re in Israel. It’s a ten-minute warning of incoming missiles or something incoming from Iran,’ Cooper said.
‘So now the location we’re in has a verbal alarm telling people to go down into bomb shelters. So we have about a ten-minute window to get down into a bomb shelter.’
The CNN star’s voice wavered as he asked his crew if it would be possible to continue their broadcast as they evacuated.
