During a visit to southern Israel video footage shows the moment Cleverly was forced to run as air raid sirens were alerted to Hamas firing rockets in the area.
Cleverly was visiting Ofakim and could be seen with other officials running for cover towards an entrance of a building which is thought to have a bomb shelter.
