'Not a Broadcast Error'... Israeli Spokesperson Rushes Out During Live Air Raid Siren

"We Will No Longer Tolerate Terror Threats"

During a live interview related to the Palestinian armed group Hamas, an air raid siren sounded, prompting the Israeli government spokesperson to immediately take shelter.

On the 16th (local time), Ayalon Levi, serving as the Israeli government spokesperson, was remotely interviewed by the UK’s Sky News, condemning Hamas and explaining the Israeli authorities' future plans. Levi was reportedly conducting the interview from a broadcast studio in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Levi stated on the broadcast, "The Hamas attack on October 7th was the worst terrorist attack since the US 9/11," adding, "We expect to destroy and dismantle Hamas and then work with international partners to ensure that no terrorist organization can exist inside the Gaza Strip."

However, during the interview, an alarm suddenly began to sound. In response, Levi said, "Unfortunately, I hear rocket sirens right now, so I have to evacuate the studio," and apologized. A broadcast staff member entered the studio and removed the in-ear device from Levi’s ear. The two then hurriedly left the studio.

Levi explained the situation at the time via X (formerly Twitter), sending a warning message about the ongoing terrorist threats from Hamas. He said, "While I was interviewing with Sky News about Israel needing to destroy Hamas so they can no longer harm our citizens, the alarm suddenly sounded, and I evacuated the studio," adding, "We will no longer tolerate terrorist threats."

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden is scheduled to make a surprise visit to Israel on the 18th. During his visit, President Biden is expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to demonstrate US support for Israel.

Regarding this, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated, "President Biden will make it clear that Israel has the right and obligation to protect its citizens from the Palestinian armed group Hamas."
