The Israeli military said Iran launched retaliatory strikes throughout the night. This followed a major Israeli attack on Friday, targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and killing top military leaders.

Eight individuals were killed and at least 287 individuals were hospitalized on Sunday night and Monday amid Iran's retaliatory strikes.

Although Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes, Israel has long seen it as a threat. Israeli strikes have hit three of Iran’s nuclear facilities — Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. Little damage appears visible in satellite imagery of Fordow.
