Our CBN News reporter was stopped mid-report by multiple loud explosions in the sky. They ran into the nearest building and up several flights of stairs to the nearest bomb shelter, where he continued the report.
For over 20 years, CBN has beamed life-giving Farsi broadcasts into Iran despite internet shutdowns. Now, with war erupting across the country today and civilians facing mass displacement and suffering, CBN is ready to deliver prayer support, emergency food, humanitarian aid, and the hope of Jesus to families whose lives have been upended by conflict.

Reporting from central Israel, journalist Paul Petitte delivers a tense, moment‑by‑moment account as cluster bombs strike dangerously close during a live broadcast. Positioned near a construction zone where part of a roof had already collapsed, Petitte describes how workers—unable or unwilling to leave their posts—were caught in the blast. Two workers died after failing to reach shelter, a sobering reminder of the deadly consequences when sirens have been sounding nonstop and people become desensitized to warnings.
As Petitte speaks with Ilan, a responder responsible for locating and collecting bodies for proper burial, explosions begin again. Ilan explains how civilians continue to work through danger, how children cannot attend school, and how everyday life has been replaced with constant alerts, fear, and loss. He stresses that residents must follow safety rules, even when exhaustion and routine tempt them to ignore incoming‑fire protocols.
Within seconds, more detonations echo through the area. Petitte and camera crews sprint for shelter as consecutive blasts—five, six, then more—shake the neighborhood. Unsure whether the strikes are ballistic missiles or additional cluster bombs, they rush into a small safe room already packed with other journalists broadcasting in multiple languages. The noise of live shots, hurried voices, and distant explosions create a chaotic, high‑energy scene as reporters work through fear to keep viewers informed.
Inside the shelter, Petitte explains that unlike earlier interceptions heard throughout the week, these blasts sound like direct impacts, heightening the tension. People huddle tightly, whispering updates, trying to interpret each thud. He describes how this cycle—running for cover, waiting, emerging, and continuing the report—has repeated all day, capturing the intense rhythm of life under ongoing missile fire.
He also highlights the work of ZAKA, the rescue organization that painstakingly gathers human remains so families can bury loved ones according to Jewish tradition. Their presence underscores the real human toll of each explosion. Moments later, Petitte confirms it is the second time in 30 minutes they’ve taken shelter, emphasizing how unpredictably and relentlessly the attacks continue.
This raw, unfiltered moment—reporting the news while dodging rocket fire—reveals the reality for Israeli civilians, responders, and journalists who must navigate danger minute by minute, never knowing when the next blast will strike.
