Caitlyn Jenner's private texts to her children revealed as she guzzles wine in Israel bunker
By STEVE HELLING
Caitlyn Jenner was drinking wine and texting members of her family while bombs rained down near her Tel Aviv hotel on Friday night, the Daily Mail can reveal.
As Iran pounded Israel with ballistic missiles in a counterstrike, the former Olympian told loved ones that she is taking every precaution to stay safe.
'Please pray,' the 75-year-old texted one family member from a secure area. 'I'm holding up okay.' When asked if the bombs were loud, Jenner merely responded 'yes.'
The family member told the Daily Mail that Jenner had phone service throughout the first wave of the attack and handed situation calmly.
She even posed for a photo holding a glass of red wine with influencer Regev Gur.
Jenner was in Tel Aviv to headline Friday's Pride parade, and posted photos of herself in some of the region's most iconic spots: Kibbutz Be'eri, the Nova Festival site, and Jerusalem's Western Wall.

'My heart is here, with the beautiful people, in Israel,' she wrote on another post.
Members of Jenner's inner circle say that she had been looking forward to the trip for weeks.
'She was very excited to be there for the parade,' says the family member. 'This was a bucket list item. It was supposed to be a great time.'
But the night before the parade, Israel carried out a military strike against Iran, targeting nuclear sites.
Organizers cancelled the parade out of safety concerns, but Jenner ended up stranded in the country as airports shut down.
On Friday evening, Iran returned fire, raining bombs down across the country, including in Tel Aviv, where Jenner has been staying.
Buildings were destroyed and dozens were wounded as some of the missiles broke through Israel's Iron Dome air defense system.
Extraordinary photos showed Iranian rockets being intercepted above Tel Aviv skyscrapers as air raid sirens wailed through the streets.

'She told us not to worry,' a family member tells the Daily Mail. 'She says she'll be fine and that Israel will protect her.'
Jenner has been in contact with the American Embassy in Tel Aviv, who advised her to shelter in a windowless area near her hotel.
As the bombs began to drop, Jenner posted an image of the missile defense system lighting up the skies on social media.
''Quiet' night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all. We will prevail,' the post read. 'I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever.'
A post shared on social media showed Jenner drinking wine with social media influencer Regev Gur, in what looked like a bomb shelter.
'And what did you do during the sirens?' the influencer captioned the post, 'because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn.'
For now, her family is watching the news and is constant contact with Jenner, who is in 'good spirits' and 'doesn't seem overly worried at the moment. Just trusting that everything is going to be okay.'
