Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst found himself in harm’s way while reporting from Sderot, Israel on Friday. He recounted that a rocket launched by Hamas militants landed “very close to where reporters have been covering the situation along the border.”
Later, he took to X and shared a clip of the moment the rocket hit next to them.
Yingst and his crew dove for cover before he showed the incident on air. He was visibly shaken and gasping for breath after the near miss.
“Guys, we. We’re just. We could hear a direct impact. A rocket just slammed into the building right next to where we’re at. You can see soldiers just arrived on the scene,” he said on air.
“I just want to give you a little bit of time here, what the situation was here,” Yingst added.
“Okay. So just a moment ago. Sirens were sounding. We followed our plan. We got straight to cover. And then we heard a loud explosion. Rocking the ground right next to us. It appears there has been a direct impact. This was not intercepted. It was a massive explosion. And you can see the car right there has some damage,” the reporter explained.
“It appears there are no casualties. But this is very close to where reporters have been covering the situation along the border. And there is some sort of siren from inside the building going off. And just a pan here,” Yingst commented for viewers.
“Excuse me, sir. And you can see this car here has some damage to it. And this is all very fresh just a moment ago. So let me take you through what happened here, guys. We’re right along the Israel-Gaza border. This area has not been taking much fire recently,” the reporter continued.
Yingst then gave a blow-by-blow of what exactly happened and how harrowing it was.
“We saw something coming off the Gaza Strip. Sirens sounded. You have about 10 seconds to get to cover here. I’m a little out of breath because we ran straight to cover. Something slipped past Israel’s missile defense system and it slammed into the ground. We’re not sure what sort of damage was done to the building,” he said.
“And in this building right here, it’s the same building we’ve been next to. It’s a kindergarten, actually, that was hit. There were no students inside. And it’s nighttime and it’s also Shabbat. But a lot of journalists around here, again, no casualties, but quite a lot of shrapnel in this area,” Yingst shakily reported.
It’s obvious this was a very, very close call. It all goes with reporting on the front lines of a war.
“How many yards from you did that rocket land? I mean, that was pretty close,” Outnumbered co-host Kayleigh McEnany asked Yingst.
“Yeah. This landed, just maybe a hundred feet from where we were standing. But again, we have safety protocols in place. And so when something like this happens, we’ve already discussed what to do,” he told her.
Yingst went into more detail about how they reacted when the sirens went off.
“So you’ll notice we were about to come on air and we couldn’t actually see that round come off the Gaza Strip. It may have been mortar fire. We’re still not able to establish if it was a small rocket or if it was a mortar. But immediately the sirens sounded here,” he told McEnany.
“You have just a few seconds to get to cover. So we didn’t even pick the camera off. We got immediately to cover. Our entire crew was in cover, but our colleagues that we are close with were next to us. They were not in cover. Again, no one was hurt here. There are no casualties from what we can see,” he noted.
hamas is STILL firing rockets?!?!?
WTH!?!?!
flatten that place to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one clip you can hear how fast it happens, you hear the middle then boom. Really is amazing
They are digging up the city’s water pipes to make rockets....................
Mostly peaceful though, right?
Yingst and his crew dove for cover
Dive, dove, diven?
Dived.........................
The rockets are fueled with a mixture of sugar and salt peter
That’s half the formula for gunpowder...................
I was taught Sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter for gunpowder.
Yes, the burning sugar provides the carbon just add sulfur..........................
Think back to WW II, the US bombed Iwo Jima into the stone age before the landings, didn’t phase the Japanese at all, they were all underground.
The Germans reduced Stalingrad to rubble, didn’t stop the Russians.
Both forces were underground, Hamas is underground and pops up, fires a few rockers or shoots a few mortar rounds and then goes back underground.
They have to be rooted out one by one, that takes time and is very dangerous.
I would put plows on the front of all tanks and simply bury them alive.
Should you use ‘dived’ or ‘dove’?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/dived-or-dove-which-is-correct
Some people say you should use dived, and some say you should use dove. Who’s right?
What to Know
The older past tense of dive is dived, which is still standard in British English. Using dove as the past tense of dive began in the 1800s, and is now standard in American English. Both forms are correct today, but you should be aware of regional preference.
By the time most native speakers of English are adults, they’ve got irregular verb inflections down. Give/gave/given, bring/brought/brought, take/took/taken, dive...hmm.
Some would say dive/dived/dived, and some would say dive/dove/dived. Who’s right? Both of them.
“Dive” suddenly gained a new past tense in the 1800s
Dive is a regular verb whose past tense, since about 1300, has been dived. But in the 1800s, it suddenly gained an irregular past tense—dove. How did that happen, and why, for the love of all verbs, would you complicate something that heretofore has been so simple?
Drive is to Drove as Dive is to Dove
Blame drive. English speakers like their language to make sense, so they create order out of what looks like chaos. With verbs, we do that by sorting them into groups based on their infinitive form. If the past tense and past participle of stink are stank and stunk, respectively, then any verb ending in -ink should, to our minds, follow the same pattern. And some do: drink/drank/drunk and sink/sank/sunk. We apply this to drive and dive as well. The past tense of drive is drove, and so, we reason that dive’s should be dove.
But what we want and what we have are two different things. Most of our irregular verb inflections aren’t based on the Modern English infinitive form, but the infinitive form of the etymon. Drink, sink, and stink all happen to come from the same group of Old English verbs, which is why they share inflections in Modern English. Wink and think look related to drink, sink, and stink, but they aren’t: we can tell by the forms they’ve carried with them into Modern English: wink/winked/winked and think/thought/thought.
So if dove is a modern invention, you shouldn’t use it, right? Some people will tell you that—that the correct past tense of dive is dived. But a survey of the evidence for dive shows that dove is actually twice as common as dived is nowadays in American English, whereas dived is more common in British English. If you’re speaking American English, be aware that some people hold to the idea that dived is the only proper past tense of dive, but also know that you may get some funny looks if you use dived in the States.
Hamas is evil and barbaric but they are not stupid, supposedly their attack to 2 years to plan, they are smart, the tunnel system is extensive and probably covers the entire Gaza Strip, with multiple openings and supply depots with rockets and mortar rounds stored up so as they withdraw, they constantly have ammunition to shoot.
The openings have to be found, I’m sure no signs are out pointing to tunnel openings, it’s hard dangerous work and takes a lot of time.
Only reason I watch F&F on the weekend is to see Trey’s excellent reporting.
Don’t watch FAUX during the week at I can’t stand the 3 Stooges that host F&F.
Better to have dived than be divided (by the rocket).

“Hamas rocket nearly hits Fox News reporter during live broadcast”
LIES!
I watched the video! A NOTHINGBURGER!
They heard it coming, warning sirens sounded, they took cover.
A car window was blown out! WOW! Some shrapnel. OOOOOOO!
Mortar NOT a rocket!
Impact crater? CRATER? A dent in the brick sidewalk. Give me 5 minutes and I could fix it with just a little dirt.
I HATE the news media. LIARS, HYPE artists.
The MAIN point the urinalist was trying to get across was that Israeli Missile defense missed it.
Maybe they NEVER TRIED to stop it?
“The Iron Dome system uses radar to detect incoming rockets, artillery, and mortars. Once a threat is detected, the system uses a combination of algorithms and human operators to calculate the projected point of impact and determine whether or not to engage the threat. If the projected impact point is in a populated area or a strategic location, the system will launch an interceptor missile to intercept and destroy the incoming threat. Regarding the number of interceptors, the Iron Dome system is designed to be highly efficient and effective, with a high rate of successful intercepts. The system is also designed to conserve interceptors by only engaging threats that are projected to impact in populated or strategic areas. Additionally, the system can also use other means, such as jamming the guidance systems of incoming projectiles, to neutralize threats without engaging interceptors.”
determine whether or not to engage the threat.
system is also designed to conserve interceptors by only engaging threats that are projected to impact in populated or strategic areas.
NOT A “ROCKET”. A mortar. Almost NO DAMAGE. HYPE article.
ZERO INJURIES! Almost ZERO damage. A car widow broken, some small holes/dents in a fence, a dent in the brick sidewalk (which was the so-called “IMPACT CRATER”).
I mean this is right up there with burnt babies in ovens, decapitated children and women, wholesale rape and slaughter on a peaceful gathering. /S
