CAITLYN JENNER'S ISRAELI ADVENTURE TURNS INTO A MISSILE-TASTIC ESCAPADE!

When Caitlyn Jenner, 75, flew into Israel last week, she was all set to headline Tel Aviv's Pride parade and soak up the sun in the Holy Land. But little did she know that her trip would take a dramatic turn, courtesy of Iran's ballistic missiles!

As tensions escalated between Israel and Iran, Jenner found herself stuck in the country along with conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings, 47. The pair had been enjoying each other's company, sharing snaps from inside an Israeli bomb shelter and hotel, as they waited out the chaos.

But when Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, things got real. Jennings captured the view outside his window on video - showing missiles streaking through the orange-hued sky as air raid sirens blared in the background. "Air raid sirens in Tiberias, Israel just after 5am," he captioned the post. "Missiles visible in the sky. Incoming from Iran."

Meanwhile, Jenner was cozied up in a secure area, reassuring loved ones that she's taking every precaution to stay safe. "Please pray," she texted one family member. "I'm holding up okay." When asked if the bombs were loud, Jenner simply replied, "Yes."

As the situation unfolded, Jenner and Jennings found themselves sharing a laugh or two - even as the missiles rained down on Tel Aviv. "What were you doing with the alarms?" Jennings' friend Regev Gur captioned a photo of the pair huddled together in a bomb shelter. "Because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn."

The Olympic champ took to X Saturday to update fans on their trip

But amidst all the chaos, Jenner's spirits remained high. She posted an image of the missile defense system lighting up the skies on social media, writing: "Quiet night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all. We will prevail...I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever."

As the world watched the drama unfold, speculation swirled about Jenner's decision to travel to the region. "God works in strange ways!" wrote one X user. "Who had it on their Bingo card that two of the most evil inhumane cruel inhabitants of earth are stuck in Israel! Don't come back. You deserve one another!"

Jenner responded with a wink, writing: "Ahhh @ScottJenningsKY we have a fan in common!! LOL".

The I Am Cait star praised President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a subsequent tweet

In the midst of it all, Jenner remained in good spirits - even as her family kept vigil, watching the news and staying in constant contact with her.
