An SBS crew came under fire in Syria on the weekend filming footage for Go Back to Where You Came From Live.
Former senator Jacqui Lambie, a Sydney immigration lawyer and crew were forced to take cover after gunfire from suspected IS insurgents broke out nearby. SBS advises they were filming at a Syrian police compound on Saturday when the area was fired on by multiple gunmen, reported by local police to be IS fighters.
The pair and crew were hosted by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, a multi-ethnic and multi-religious militia which has clashed with IS and other opposition groups in recent years.
Reports from Syria suggest as many as 10 IS gunmen were killed during the subsequent shootout with local police, who managed to repel the attack.
SBS released details ahead of the premiere tonight.
