The conflict began on Friday when Israel launched predawn strikes that hit more than 100 targets, including nuclear facilities and missile sites, and killed senior military commanders and scientists. That attack set off an escalating series of tit-for-tat exchanges, raising fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war.
Residential areas in both countries have suffered deadly strikes since the hostilities broke out. As of Monday, Iran’s health ministry said 224 people had been killed and 1,277 injured; while official Israeli sources said 23 civilians had been killed and nearly 60 injured.
What has Israel hit?
Nuclear facilities
Israel’s operation has included strikes on Iran’s uranium enrichment sites at Natanz and Fordow, and a uranium conversion facility at Isfahan.
Video footage posted online on Friday showed the aftermath of an explosion at Natanz, Iran’s most significant nuclear enrichment facility.
Satellite imagery showed damage to the electrical substation that powers the plant, and the above-ground pilot fuel enrichment plant, which hosts hundreds of centrifuges. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday there was “no indication of a physical attack” on an underground section of the site.
Four buildings have been damaged at Isfahan, the IAEA said on Monday, adding that no damage had been seen at Fordow, which is deeply buried beneath a mountain.
Military installations
Israel claims to have destroyed 120 Iranian surface-to-surface missile launchers, amounting to a third of the regime’s total stockpile, and said on Monday it had “total air superiority in the skies over Tehran”. It has also hit missile development and production sites. Israel has overstated claims for military success in the past and the claims are unverifiable.
Strikes have been reported at military bases in Bid Kaneh, Kermanshah and Parchin, and airports in Mashhad, Mehrabad and Tabriz, where a missile complex has also been hit.
Energy facilities
Israel has hit energy targets including gas processing facilities at South Pars, the world’s largest natural gasfield, storage tanks in Rey to the south of Tehran and a fuel depot in Shahran in the capital’s north, where footage from Sunday showed huge fireballs rising from the site.
Tehran strikes
Israel has bombarded the Iranian capital since Friday, and said it targeted 80 sites in the city on Saturday night alone, including the Iranian ministry of defence.
Several residential buildings have been hit, including complexes for military commanders, resulting in the deaths of much of the top echelon of the Iranian military command.
Footage from security cameras showed two of the explosions during the first wave of attacks on Friday.
Footage from the aftermath of the initial strikes showed tall buildings on fire and people out on the streets.
What has Iran hit?
Iranian missiles have hit Israeli locations including Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, Haifa, Rehovot, Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva and Tamra.
This annotated satellite image shows damage to buildings near Israel’s defence headquarters in Tel Aviv.
Drone footage captured the aftermath of a missile strike in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
CCTV and drone footage captured the moment an Iranian missile hit a residential building complex in Petah Tikva, east of Tel Aviv, on Monday, and the aftermath of the strike.
Israeli reporting restrictions limit the ability to assess what if any damage has been done to strategic locations, and in previous exchanges Israel has minimised the effectiveness of Iranian missile fire.
