RUSH TRANSCRIPT Dean We ░░░░░░░░ also following breaking news ░░░░░░░░ out of the Middle ░░░░░░░░ Israel has launched a ░░░░░░░░ of strikes targeting different ░░░░░░░░ in Iran This is ░░░░░░░░ to the Israeli military ░░░░░░░░ Iranian media We also ░░░░░░░░ that there are things ░░░░░░░░ in Tel Aviv as ░░░░░░░░ CNN chief international correspondent ░░░░░░░░ Ward is live for ░░░░░░░░ there in Tel Aviv ░░░░░░░░ what is the latest ░░░░░░░░ So I guess about ░░░░░░░░ an hour ago Jessica ░░░░░░░░ IDF put out a ░░░░░░░░ essentially telling people to ░░░░░░░░ sure that they were ░░░░░░░░ to be near a ░░░░░░░░ And then there was ░░░░░░░░ warning saying that missile ░░░░░░░░ have been detected Now ░░░░░░░░ haven t heard sirens ░░░░░░░░ anything like that but ░░░░░░░░ the streets of Tel ░░░░░░░░ behind me now are ░░░░░░░░ empty You could literally ░░░░░░░░ a pin drop Everybody ░░░░░░░░ getting to a place ░░░░░░░░ they know a shelter ░░░░░░░░ close by Now we ░░░░░░░░ no idea what exactly ░░░░░░░░ expect if anything but ░░░░░░░░ broader sense is that ░░░░░░░░ will likely be more ░░░░░░░░ both from Iran coming ░░░░░░░░ in the form of ░░░░░░░░ missiles as we saw ░░░░░░░░ night and potentially as ░░░░░░░░ more Israeli strikes on ░░░░░░░░ as well We did ░░░░░░░░ from a different vantage ░░░░░░░░ what what looked possibly ░░░░░░░░ either tracers or some ░░░░░░░░ of an intercept although ░░░░░░░░ couldn t hear any ░░░░░░░░ so not clear if ░░░░░░░░ was in the far ░░░░░░░░ But certainly a state ░░░░░░░░ very high alert here ░░░░░░░░ we re now approaching ░░░░░░░░ those late night hours ░░░░░░░░ you will which last ░░░░░░░░ proved to be very ░░░░░░░░ indeed throughout the day ░░░░░░░░ was pretty quiet which ░░░░░░░░ us an opportunity to ░░░░░░░░ go and visit the ░░░░░░░░ where one of those ░░░░░░░░ actually made impact in ░░░░░░░░ city outside of Tel ░░░░░░░░ a residential area And ░░░░░░░░ damage from that missile ░░░░░░░░ pretty extraordinary something that ░░░░░░░░ are certainly not used ░░░░░░░░ seeing here in Israel ░░░░░░░░ many houses were completely ░░░░░░░░ There was debris everywhere ░░░░░░░░ were crumpled up and ░░░░░░░░ of tossed down the ░░░░░░░░ like Coke cans And ░░░░░░░░ were gathering at the ░░░░░░░░ cordon sort of craning ░░░░░░░░ necks Jessica trying to ░░░░░░░░ a better look at ░░░░░░░░ scale of the damage ░░░░░░░░ as I said before ░░░░░░░░ is just not something ░░░░░░░░ Israelis have seen on ░░░░░░░░ own turf so to ░░░░░░░░ So everybody now waiting ░░░░░░░░ see what comes next ░░░░░░░░ we will get further ░░░░░░░░ whether they will hear ░░░░░░░░ sirens which are an ░░░░░░░░ that in 90s you ░░░░░░░░ try to take shelter ░░░░░░░░ in your nearest possible ░░░░░░░░ And of course we ░░░░░░░░ keep you posted as ░░░░░░░░ when we hear more.”
