Clarissa Ward, chief international correspondent at CNN, had just begun reporting a live segment from Israel when Hamas rockets flew overhead, forcing her and her crew to duck for cover.
In footage that aired in real-time, Clarissa and three others rushed to the side of a road near the Israel-Gaza border. They huddled side-by-side, taking cover in a ditch amid a "massive barrage of rockets."
The cameraman repeatedly said, “It’s okay, it’s okay,” as they took cover.
Immediately after, she began explaining the situation at the scene and apologizing for her “un-elegant position” as she remained close to the ground.
Since the conflict began, more than 900 Israelis have been confirmed dead, and 2,150 are injured, per the Israel Defense Forces.
There are reportedly over 150 Israelis being held hostage in Gaza, with some U.S. citizens among them that are currently "unaccounted for," The New York Times reported.
