An Israeli analyst had to interrupt his live interview with Current Time television as he received an air-raid alert on the evening of October 1. Political scientist and retired diplomat Michael Pellivert was speaking via video link from Israel with the Russian-language TV and digital network run by RFE/RL when an Iranian missile attack started. "Unfortunately, I have to leave the live broadcast and take shelter in a safe room. Goodbye," Pellivert said before running for cover.
