“It’s a conflict that we’ve been following for so long and never thought we would be covering it at this level and in this way,” he tells TheWrap

“This job is my life.” Trey Yingst, the 30-year-old Fox News foreign correspondent, tells TheWrap about covering the latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas. 

In 2014, Yingst – still in college at the time – told his parents he was going to Jerusalem to report on the ongoing conflict. Instead, he found a way into the Gaza Strip to report from the inside. 

Nearly 10 years later, Yingst is now covering an inflamed conflict in the same region. But this time it hits much closer to home for the foreign correspondent. 

“For me, this war is different because of how close it is to where I live,” said Yingst, who now lives in Israel full time.
