Police bomb disposal experts worked to remove a rocket fragment from the building that penetrated through the street and reached the parking garage level, Jerusalem police said. No casualties were reported.

JNS reached out to the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem for comment.

Two men suffered light injuries while running for shelter during the latest Iranian missile barrage that hit the Jewish state on Sunday afternoon, according to medical officials.

Earlier on Sunday, two elderly Israelis were lightly injured in Holon, south of Tel Aviv, when rocket fire from Iran and Hezbollah struck overnight.

At least 14 people, all noncombatants, have been killed in the hundreds of Iranian missile attacks targeting civilian regions in the Jewish state.

“You meet people who think Netanyahu has been an extraordinary wartime leader, something no American I know would dare speak out loud, but still want him gone,” Reuven Fenton told JNS. “You meet others, who hold him responsible for Oct. 7 but don’t see a credible alternative.”
“We have a really simple mission that binds everyone together,” Catherine Reed, CEO of American Friends of Magen David Adom, told JNS. “We save lives.”
The treaty serves as a cornerstone of regional stability and a platform for future cooperation, said Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
