June 16, (THEWILL) – The US embassy building in Tel Aviv sustained minor damage from a nearby Iranian missile strike, with no injuries reported among personnel, US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said on Monday.
“Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in @TelAviv but no injuries to US personnel”, Huckabee said on X, adding that the US embassy in Jerusalem would remain closed on Monday, with orders to “shelter in place” still in effect.
Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israeli cities early Monday in retaliation for Israel’s strike on military targets deep inside Iran. Both nations have since threatened further escalation.
