A missile has hit the vicinity of the European Union delegation in Tel Aviv, according to several sources consulted by Euronews.
The origin of the missile was not immediately clear, but it was presumed to be a projectile fired by Iran against Israel amid the military escalation between the two countries, now on its seventh day.
The distance between the delegation and the strike is believed to be between 400 and 500 metres, sources indicated.
The strike happened near a district where several embassies are located, including those from the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, North Macedonia and Ireland.
An EU official said all personnel of the delegation were “safe and sound”.
The incident takes place one day before High Representative Kaja Kallas is reportedly due to travel to Geneva for face-to-face talks with her Iranian counterpart. Kallas has repeatedly called on Israel and Iran to exercise “maximum restraint” and work towards a diplomatic settlement of the spiralling conflict.
This is a developing story.
