A fragment of an Iranian missile hit a residential building in Jerusalem used by the US consul, Reuters reported, citing Israeli media and the US State Department.
No staff members were reported injured.
A US diplomatic spokesman said that debris from the intercepted missile fell in a residential area.
“The United States strongly condemns Iran and Iran-backed terrorist militia attacks on diplomatic, military and civilian infrastructure in the region,“ the State Department spokesman stressed.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has denied reports that Israel is facing a shortage of ballistic missile interceptors after more than two weeks of war with Iran and the Iran-backed group “Hezbollah“ in Lebanon, Reuters reported.
Earlier, US media, citing anonymous sources, reported that Israel had informed Washington that its stock of interceptor systems was critically low.
When asked whether the report was accurate, as well as a statement in Israeli media that Israel was ready to hold direct talks with Lebanon, Saar replied: “The answer to both questions is “no“.“
Iran has fired nearly 300 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel, according to the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University since the start of the war on February 28. According to the Israeli military, half of the missiles fired by Iran were carrying cluster munitions.
The Lebanon-based Shiite movement “Hezbollah“ also fired missiles at Israel, with the Lebanese group claiming it was in response to the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran.
Iranian authorities have arrested 500 people on charges of sharing information with the enemy, the Islamic Republic's police chief said today, as Israeli and US fighter jets continue to strike new targets in the country, Reuters reported.
Half of the arrests are related to serious offenses, "providing information to strike targets" and "filming the sites of the strikes", Ahmadreza Radan said, without going into details about when the arrests were made.
Earlier, Iranian media reported dozens of arrests in several regions of the country.
According to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, 20 people were arrested in the northwest of the country on charges of sending Israel data on the location of Iran's military and defense assets. In northeastern Iran, which has been relatively unaffected by airstrikes, 10 detainees were reported, some accused of collecting information on sensitive areas and economic infrastructure.
In January, weeks before the US and Israel attacked Iran, the Islamic Republic witnessed massive anti-government protests that were crushed in the deadliest crackdown in the Islamic Republic's history.
The authorities have accused Israel and the US of instigating what they described as "violent unrest" aimed at overthrowing the clerical elite.

Starmer and Carney "agreed to continue discussions on the Middle East conflict at their meeting tomorrow," the spokeswoman added.
