Tensions in West Asia escalated as Iran launched fresh missile attacks on Israel early Monday morning. Missiles struck key Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, just before dawn. Adding to the alarm, US Ambassador Huckabee confirmed that one of the missiles landed near the US Embassy in Tel Aviv.
Scenes of shattered glass could be seen on the streets near the embassy building. In response to the escalating situation, the US Embassy and Consulate in Israel will remain closed until further notice.
