The recording shows how, during her report, a rocket hit the building behind her.
On Saturday morning, the radical Palestinian group Hamas attacked Israel. The militants fired several thousand rockets from the Gaza Strip towards Israel and entered the country by land, from the sea and from the air. The attacks affected many places. On Sunday, Israel’s Security Cabinet officially announced that the country was at war. In response to the attack, Israel hit several hundred Hamas facilities in the Gaza Strip.
Reuters shared a fragment of a recording from Al Jazeera television from Saturday’s live report by British reporter Youmna ElSayed. The journalist was in the Gaza Strip and reported on the situation a few hours after Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel.
The recording shows how, as the reporter was entering, the rocket hit the building behind her. When she heard the sound of the impact, ElSayed screamed and moved away, covering her ears. The studio host asked her to make sure she was in a safe place and asked her to catch her breath.
