US embassy in Tel Aviv partially damaged in Iranian attacks

Mike Hankabie, the US ambassador to Israel, has reported that the American embassy in Tel Aviv was “slightly damaged” during overnight attacks by Iran.

Posting on his X account, Hankabie said the consulate building in Tel Aviv experienced severe shaking due to Iranian missile strikes nearby.

Fortunately, no American personnel were injured in the attack.

As a result, the main US embassy in Jerusalem will remain closed, and staff have been instructed to stay in safe locations for the time being.
