An Australian news crew reporting from the Israel-Palestine border was forced to run for cover as a Hamas rocket exploded above them.
Channel 7 journalist David Woiwod was crossing live to the network’s Early News program just after 6am when he and his cameraman had “a very close call”.“I don’t know if you can hear those blasts in the background,” Woiwod said as exploding rockets could be seen in the distance.
As the sound of firing rockets grew closer, Woiwod – who was near Sderot on the Israeli border – could be seen gazing upwards in panic.As he ran out of shot, an explosion could be heard and the feed was cut. Back in a studio in Sydney, Channel 7 anchor Jodie Speers quickly moved on to other stories.about the chilling moment he had to run for his life.“An incredibly close call there, showing that Israel doesn’t have a full grip of the situation – a fluid situation,” he said.
