.Richard Engel comes under mortar fire from Gaza while reporting near the border in Sderot, Israel. The team had about 20 seconds notice before impact as air raid sirens went off followed immediately by incoming rounds as they reported live on MSNBC

@RichardEngel @MSNBC I have been watching Richard Engel's segments on msnbc, he was reporting with rockets and bombs going off in the background He still managed some great reporting with poignant stories from families of the hostages. Heart wrenching.

@RichardEngel @MSNBC I don’t know how anyone trying to be neutral in all this expected Israel to not retaliate. You think Hamas was only going to send the initial 2500 rockets and 300-500 militants and call it a mission success?

@RichardEngel @MSNBC I worry about Richard Engel when he’s in war zones.

@RichardEngel @MSNBC For those new to this sort of thing, let me fill you in, @RichardEngel is not only a national treasure, he’s among the bravest humans to walk this earth.

@AliVelshi @RichardEngel @MSNBC Did anyone else notice Richard putting his hand protectively over the other guy's head? He's a rock star!

@RichardEngel @MSNBC God bless you always. AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏

@RichardEngel I'm so glad you guys are okay. Geez.

@AliVelshi @RichardEngel @MSNBC My heart is with him, but also his wife and family. It can’t be easy

@DrydenNovelette @RichardEngel @MSNBC One if the risks war correspondents take. Brave people who put their lives at risk to report events. Stay safe!

@RichardEngel @MSNBC Unlike Engel, Velshi hams it up for the camera in Tel Aviv (as far from the trouble as he can get) wearing his Barney the Dinosaur outfit and a stunning shade of lipstick. He also stayed in Kiev for weeks as soon as it was safe. #velshi
