Anderson Cooper is no stranger to toughing out the elements while reporting on a story. Last year, he was reporting live on Hurricane Milton when the storm-force winds blew a huge flying hunk of something right into his face. Now, the CNN star has had an even scarier on-air experience.
In the early morning hours of June 23, Cooper—along with fellow reporters Clarissa Ward and Jeremy Diamond—were reporting from an outdoor location in Tel Aviv when an alert sound suddenly began playing from all of their phones. "[This is] a ten-minute warning of incoming missiles..." Cooper calmly explained to the viewers. "The location we're in has a verbal alarm telling people to go down into bomb shelters, so we have about a ten minute window to get down into a bomb shelter."
All three reporters remained remarkably composed throughout the entire ordeal. Ward even asked Cooper, "Do you want to go down [now] or do you want to finish this?" Cooper laughed, replying, "We should probably go down."

The crew then followed the reporters through the hotel they were in down to the bomb shelter, narrating the process on-camera and saying hi to people as he passed them in the hall. "It's obviously something that many here in Tel Aviv have gotten used to over the last ten or eleven days," he explained. Perhaps that's why everyone seemed so calm. He also appeared to know exactly how to get to the bomb shelter, suggesting that it wasn't the first time he'd had to go down there.
Cooper isn't the only celeb to have recently found himself in an Israeli bomb shelter either. Caitlyn Jenner was snapped sipping wine in a Tel Aviv bunker with influencer marketer Regev Gur.
