Israel and Iran's long-simmering tensions erupted into missile attacks last Friday, when Israel launched a suprise attack against military and nuclear targets in Iran and wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command.

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.

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.
