A rocket launched from Gaza exploded near a kindergarten building in southern Israel, just feet from a crowd of journalists covering the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The attack was witnessed by Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, who estimated that he was within 100 feet of the blast.
“It appears there has been a direct impact. This was not intercepted, it was a massive explosion,” Yingst reported from near the site of impact.

Fox News reporter Trey Yingst reports live from the site of a missile launched from Gaza that struck an Israeli kindergarten building.
The kindergarten was unoccupied at the time of the attack, and no bystanders were wounded in the blast.
“We’re right along the Israel-Gaza border. This area has not been taking much fire recently but we saw something coming off the Gaza Strip, sirens sounded. You have about 10 seconds to get to cover here,” Yingst said.

In an update, Yingst said, “It’s by chance that no journalists were injured or killed. A rocket just landed feet away from where dozens of reporters are working tonight.”
