Caitlyn Jenner Escapes Israel Amid Escalating Conflict With Iran

by

Amidst a continuing four-day escalation of military confrontations between Israel and Iran, Caitlyn Jenner, an influential transgender figure and Olympic gold winner, successfully departed from the country on Sunday.

75-year-old Jenner was originally scheduled to attend Tel Aviv’s gay pride celebrations, but the events were abruptly cancelled when Israel initiated a string of attacks on Tehran starting from last Friday. These attacks targeted and took the lives of high-ranking military officials, nuclear scientists, and destroyed several nuclear facilities within the city.

Jenner was supposed to participate in Tel Aviv’s gay pride festivities, but they were suddenly cancelled due to Israel launching a series of attacks on Tehran from last Friday, resulting in the deaths of key military officials, nuclear scientists, and the destruction of multiple nuclear facilities.

Due to Iran’s retaliation with multiple missile attacks targeting densely populated urban zones, such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, Jenner managed to escape by traveling overland and entering Jordan, whose airspace has been sporadically open during the conflict, as per a report from The Times of Israel.

Iran launched a series of ballistic missiles towards populated cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa, forcing all airspace to close. However, Jenner was still able to make it out of the country by driving overland into neighboring Jordan, whose skies have been intermittently accessible during the conflict, according to a report from The Times of Israel.

As Iran retaliated with a barrage of missiles aimed at densely populated cities such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, causing all airspace to be shut down, Jenner was able to flee the country by driving into neighboring Jordan, where the airspace has been periodically open during the conflict, according to a report from The Times of Israel.

Afterward, Jenner intends to return home by air to Los Angeles. However, The Hollywood Reporter hasn’t yet been able to verify the specifics of Jenner’s travel plans with her LA-based agents.

On Thursday, I touched down at Ben Gurion Airport, kickstarting a high-profile goodwill journey where I was warmly welcomed by the Israeli administration amid their three-year struggle with Hamas. Amid the missile attacks, I took to social media to express my solidarity with Israel and its folks, posting several updates along the way.

It’s been amazing celebrating Shabbat! I’m currently in Tel Aviv, Israel, where we are together. I consider myself a friend, supporter, and partner,” Jenner shared with X.

On Instagram, Jenner shared an impressive image showing Tel Aviv’s sky illuminated by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system successfully intercepting incoming Iranian missiles.

An ‘uneventful’ evening in Tel Aviv. There isn’t another place I’d prefer to be than among the courageous citizens of Israel. May you continue to guard and safeguard us, God,” reads the caption.

In a picture shared by Israeli social media personality Regev Gur, Caitlyn Jenner is depicted sipping red wine inside a bomb shelter. “While on alert, what are you doing? I’m enjoying wine with Caitlyn,” Gur captioned the image. Later, he removed the post.

On a Friday, CNN political expert Scott Jennings shared insights with THR from his hotel room in Tiberias, all while Israeli military aircraft thundered above.

Jennings continues to reside in Israel as the conflict persists. After our conversation, he moved to Jerusalem. Recently, on X, he posted a video showing incoming missiles against a backdrop of thick smoke and blaring air raid alarms.

12 midnight video clips from Jerusalem, as shared by Jennings. These communications contain an explosion sound and occasionally a noticeable shake. Let’s hope for the well-being of the Israeli citizens who were harmed or hurt due to Iranian missile attacks.

Based on Reuters reporting, at least 24 Israeli citizens have lost their lives as a result of Iran’s retaliation thus far, with approximately 500 others injured. The Iranian administration has confirmed at least 224 fatalities, asserting that around 90% of them were civilian casualties.

Over the course of the night and into early Monday, numerous powerful blasts have been heard echoing throughout Tehran. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued evacuation notices for various neighborhoods, warning of an impending operation due to an urgent situation.
