    David Muir has made a safe return back to his home of New York City after a harrowing few days reporting from the frontlines.

    The revered anchor has spent the last several days gathering emotional coverage for ABC from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has claimed thousands of Israeli and Palestinian lives.

    The veteran journalist had been in Israel since the top of the week, after a Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 killed over 1,000 Israelis, the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust. In turn, the Israeli government has shut off access to food, water, and electricity from Gaza – which houses approximately 2.2 million Palestinians – and over 2,000 of its residents have been killed since Israel's retaliatory attacks began, Reuters reports.
