The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem will “officially remain closed” on Monday, with the embassy branch in Tel Aviv suffering damages amid the ongoing military conflict with Iran, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said in a June 16 post on social media platform X.

“Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in @TelAviv but no injuries to US personnel,” he said.
