    Caitlyn Jenner is trapped in Tel Aviv, Israel, as the country’s conflict with Iran continues to escalate.

    “A ‘quiet’ night in Tel Aviv,” the former Olympian, 76, captioned via Instagram Friday a picture of missiles.

    “There is not a place I’d rather be, than with the brave people of Israel. God, please continue to shield and protect us.”

    Jenner, who came out as transgender in 2015, traveled to Israel to host the Tel Aviv Pride Parade.

    However, according to local outlets, the LGBTQIA+ event was canceled because of all the turmoil.

    Jenner is still in Israel, though, as flights have been cleared from nearby airspaces and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport remains closed until further notice.

    Page Six has reached out to the “I Am Cait” alum’s rep for an update but they declined to comment.

    Jenner sat down for an interview with Channel 12 News in Israel recently, and shared that her daughter Kylie Jenner expressed concerns about her going to the Middle East.

    “Kylie goes, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re going to Israel! Are you OK?’ and I said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll be well taken care of,” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum shared.

    “Every time I have talked to somebody about Israel and that they have the second-biggest Pride event in the world, everybody is always just, like, shocked.”

    Page Six has reached out to reps for Kylie and her sister Kendall Jenner but has not heard back.

    Ahead of her journey, Caitlyn shared her excitement for the trip by posting a selfie and accompanying video of her take-off from her airplane.

    “What a special place. I’m here to stand with those who believe in hope, not hate.🇮🇱 🤝 🇺🇸,” she captioned the post on Wednesday.

    However, just two days later, Israel launched large-scale airstrikes against Iran on Friday in an attempt to destroy its nuclear program and kill its military leaders.

    Iran has since retaliated, causing “significant damage” to Israel Defense Forces’ headquarters.

    As of Saturday morning, two Iranian generals and three Israeli people have reportedly died due to the ongoing conflict, and at least 43 others have been treated for injuries.
