The footage comes amid a time when Israel and Iran are engaged in a fierce military escalation. Both countries are launching aerial strikes against each other for the fourth consecutive day. Iran and Israel are claiming to inflict heavy losses on each other during the ongoing conflict.
Israel launched strikes on Iran early on Friday, which saw several elite military figures and scientists assassinated. Iran retaliated with drones and later strikes of its own. In retaliatory fire, Israel targeted Iran’s gas fields and oil refineries.
The US Embassy in Tel Aviv suffered minor damage in the latest missile strikes by Iran on Israel. The U.S. Ambassador to Israel confirmed the damage to the embassy in Tel Aviv.
The missile struck the building in the vicinity of the U.S. Embassy. No major damage was reported to the personnel and the staff working at the embassy. “Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near the embassy branch in Tel Aviv, but no injuries to US personnel,” the ambassador said.
Video footages show that the glasses of the building were broken as a result of the explosion in the area. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has strictly warned Iran not to attack the military assets of the USA and the Middle East. Reports also claim that the US President had denied the calls of Israel to join its war against Iran.
