Aussie tennis star caught in Middle East conflict

Australian tennis player Cruz Hewitt was caught in the middle of Middle East conflict when the UAE tournament he was competing in was halted due to missile strikes.

The son of tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt was in the United Arab Emirates when a tournament was abruptly suspended due to escalating tensions in the region. Frightening footage has emerged showing drone attacks in the area.

Hewitt, who is competing internationally, was safely removed from the immediate danger zone as authorities worked to contain the situation amid the Middle East conflict.
