Fox News war correspondent Trey Yingst shares his gripping, firsthand account of the events of October 7,
2023, and the ensuing war, offering riveting insight and fresh facts that clarify the scope and magnitude of
this latest and most dramatic outbreak in one of the bloodiest, most nuanced, and longest-standing conflicts
in modern history.On the morning of October 7, 2023, the militant group known as Hamas launched a
vicious attack on Israel in the most recent stage of the deeply complicated and decades-long Israel-Palestine
conflict. The assault, which took place on Shabbat—the day of rest for the Jewish people—instantly became
known among Israelis and the world as “Black Saturday.”On October 7, Fox News Correspondent Trey
Yingst was on the ground along the Gaza border and witnessed firsthand the devastation, shock, and deep
sorrow that whirled through Israel. A seasoned journalist who has reported from some of the most dangerous
hotspots around the world, including the frontlines in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, Yingst was just
one among many people plunged into the terrifying chaos of that horrific event. In this shocking and eye-

for answers to essential questions in real time--who within Israel had been attacked; what happened to them;
who, potentially, was next--while exploring the impact on both Israelis and Palestinians as a full-scale war
ramps up and peace grows more elusive. “We have a responsibility now to account for and record these
events—and tell the world the truth,” Yingst writes. “We cannot look away.”Committed to reporting the
whole truth, on both sides of the Israel-Gaza border, Yingst interviewed a range of exclusive contacts to
incorporate multiple perspectives. From conversations with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and high-
ranking soldiers, to interviews with Senior Hamas official Dr. Bassem Naim and Gazan journalist Nael
Ghaboun, to heartbreaking accounts from civilians placed in the crosshairs of the attack and conflict that
followed, Yingst takes us inside the newest phase of an old war in which thousands more people—men,
women, and children—are suffering.Combining candor, grit, and veracity, Yingst paints a vivid picture of
horrors and violence, matched by acts of courage and humanity that cut through the darkness. A testament to
unwavering resilience and tenacity, Black Saturday is the riveting chronicle of one journalist’s experience
relentlessly pursuing the truth in the face of terror.Black Saturday will include a 16-pages of full-color
