Former NCAA and Team USA women's basketball player Destiny Littleton shared footage Saturday of her experience fleeing Iranian counterstrikes in Israel. 

Her documentation concluded with a panicked scene of her and other civilians shouting in fear as drones flew overhead. Littleton, who won a national championship at South Carolina under coach Dawn Staley in 2022, and a gold medal for the U.S. in the 2017 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup, currently plays for Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel’s top division. 

She posted footage on her Instagram Saturday updating followers as she fled to a local bomb shelter when Iranian counterattacks began to strike Israel. 

After the U.S. and Israel carried out a round of military strikes on Iran, the country responded with ballistic missiles and drones targeting cities including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem.

Littleton was nearly caught in the crossfire.

Sirens could be heard in her video as she fled the shelter, and at one point she even aimed her camera at what appeared to be missiles flying through the air. 

In one video, she struggled to find the shelter as sirens blared in the background. 

"Trying to find the saferoom, but I can't find it," she said, in a panicked voice as she scrambled through an empty alleyway. "Jesus Christ, I don't think this is the right… I don't think this is the right way."

As she walked down an outdoor stone staircase, bombs exploding in the distance could be heard in the background, as she yelled, "Oh s---!"

Shortly after that, she posted a video announcing she had left the shelter and was going to a teammate's house after feeling "uncomfortable" in the shelter she had just found.

"That B-O-M-B shelter I was just in, couldn't fit five people, and that was it, I was like, ‘no, no, no, no,'" she said.

Littleton eventually reached her teammate's high-rise apartment building, where she revealed she had heard several recent explosions. 

"I heard the booms all over," she said while showing an overview of the Jerusalem skyline.

Then, in her final video of the night, Littleton appeared frantic and sweaty, as she revealed explosions nearby.

"There's no siren going on right now, and yet there's these things in the sky blowing up! I'm pretty sure they're either missiles or drones! Either way, we've seen them blow up in the sky, multiple of them, very very close to us actually!" she exclaimed. 

"I'm not really sure what it is… Jesus Christ." 

Littleton and those around her then became more frantic as another apparent drones appeared nearby.

"Over there! Over there! Over there! Over there! Over there!" she shouted, before turning her camera around to show what appeared to be a drone flying nearby the building she was in. "I'm pretty sure that's not a star." 

Just then, five other drones came into frame, and an explosion was seen going off in the distance. 

"I think those are freaking drones bro!"

The entire room then erupted into a loud panic as a drone flew over the building they were in, as she turned the camera upwards to reveal the weapons. 

"Oh s---!" Littleton shouted. 

Another civilian nearby screamed, "Guys! Guys! What the f---!"

The drone went on to land and exploded a far distance from her location, as seen in her footage.

Littleton and the group were later seen in the footage leaving the apartment and heading to a bunker, as she appeared visibly rattled, sweaty and overwhelmed, massaging her head, sighing. 

Littleton has not posted a follow-up post at the time of publication.

Staley said Saturday that the university is working to bring Littleton and two other players home amid the chaos, alongside WNBA veteran Tiffany Mitchell and former Phoenix Mercury forward Mikiah Herbert Harrigan. 

"Please pray for our @GamecockWBB @TiffMitch25 @2121Mikiah @dstnylttltn24 who are in a war zone in Israel," her post said. "We are working on a plan to get home. Let us pray for our loved ones to return home safely asap! Thank you in advance." 

The U.S. joined Israel in launching strikes against Iran on Saturday morning. In video remarks posted to Truth Social, Trump encouraged the Iranian people to take over their government once the United States and Israel finished "major combat operations" in Iran.

Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting U.S. sites throughout the Middle East. Fox News reported that approximately 40 missiles had landed in Israel.

Voice of America’s (VOA) Persian-language service continued broadcasting inside Iran on Saturday despite sweeping communication restrictions imposed by the regime, a spokesperson confirmed to Fox News.

VOA — the U.S. government-funded international broadcaster overseen by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) — appeared to air Persian-language coverage of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign known as "Operation Epic Fury," the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, remarks from President Donald Trump, and other major developments.

In a post on X, USAGM said VOA was amplifying President Donald Trump’s message about the operation across its global platforms, sharing images of his statement translated into multiple languages, including Korean and Kurdish.

"Voice of America is carrying President Trump’s message about Operation Epic Fury across all language services," USAGM wrote. "The brave people of Iran are hearing him — and so are citizens living under oppressive regimes around the world."

Founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda, VOA now delivers news in 49 languages to a weekly global audience of more than 361 million people, according to the organization's website.

VOA launched its Persian-language programming in 1979. The service "confronts the disinformation and censorship efforts of the Iranian regime and enhances U.S. efforts to speak directly to the Iranian people," its website states.

All broadcast media in Iran is state-controlled and promotes official government policy and ideology. While private satellite dishes are illegal, foreign-based Persian-language satellite channels attract a large viewership, according to BBC News.

The broadcasts come as Iranian authorities intensify their crackdown on journalism and digital communications. 

Officials have imposed a near-total internet blackout — similar to restrictions enacted during protests last month — with national connectivity reportedly dropping to roughly 4%, The Jerusalem Post reported.

At least seven journalists have also been arrested since the latest wave of protests began in December, which were sparked by economic collapse and inflation reportedly soaring to 60%, according to Reporters Without Borders.

Earlier this week, the CIA stepped into the information battle. 

On Tuesday, the agency published a Persian-language video on its X account urging Iranian dissidents to make secure contact with the CIA amid renewed anti-government demonstrations.

The U.S. Agency for Global Media did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
