I knew before I even clicked on this that Richard Engel would be balls deep in it... Stay safe, man.

This is one of the scariest videos I have seen in a while. Actually seeing the mortar shells flying through the air and the loud explosions so close by - incredible. Richard Engel is a truly courageous man.

Everyone needs to hear the story, but please be safe no story is worth your life.

[RosaRodriguez-rlrd]

Omg please be careful covering the war. We want you back home safe to your family Richard and crew you are truly loved. ❤

As someone who has served in the UK forces, I can say that this is as real as it gets if, as a civvy, you're looking to find an experience of what its like to be in a war zone and be directly targeted. Still, could be worse, you could live in Liverpool

*Bruh, hearing the rockets from the sky is insane.*

[intermixturemusic]

That voice is haunting as it echos that warning message across the area

[sequillawilliams]

I'm in the army and have been for ten years and counting my mouth literally dropped watching those mortars come in that close meanwhile the newscaster is on the ground with a grin of amazement on his face still trying to report the news 😂😂

[conpop]

I have the greatest respect for any reporter who goes into a combat zone

[AuntDi]

Omg - sometimes the story goes too far when it risks lives. 😢

[montielh]

Wow, he chooses the worst space to take cover!

[MyHalcyonDaysAreHere]

Egad, take care ! Smoke from mortar fire, no from mortar crash. Wow.

[Kathy-prwu]

That is WAY too close to the action, if you're not a soldier.

[texasgirlmomx]

Woooow. 😱🤯😱 Stay safe guys!! Wishing for a speedy end to the senseless violence. 💔

[oppressedspeakeroftruth]

I'm enjoying the show. The reporters always try their best to sell these stories

[shannavaratnam]

Good Lord bless Israel 🇮🇱 and protect
I pray for 🇮🇱

[zeldasmith]

This isn't new. This has been going on for decades.
And it will continue for decades because it's two powerful businesses locked in a death grip.
