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, which is now on its seventh day.
The distance between the EU delegation and the strike is believed to be between 400 and 500 metres, two sources indicated.
The strike happened on Thursday near a district where several European embassies are located, including those from the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, North Macedonia and Ireland, as well as the Tel Aviv-Savidor Central railway station.
A spokesperson for the European Commission said the personnel were safe.
"While no EU staff were injured today, we note with grave concern that diplomatic premises have been damaged in the attacks by Iran," the spokesperson said.
"Under no circumstances, civilian areas and infrastructures as well as foreign diplomatic staff and missions should be targeted or attacked."
An Israeli source described the missile as one being "equipped with a cluster munition", a type that is "familiar" to the country's armed forces.
The incident took 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.
