Israel and Iran intensified their deadly air strikes Monday on the fifth day after Israel launched its first attack to dismantle Iran's nuclear capability.

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.

An Israeli airstrike struck Iran's state-run television broadcaster during a live broadcast Monday, intensifying an already volatile confrontation between the two regional rivals. The attack came amid a series of tit-for-tat strikes that have killed hundreds across both countries since the outbreak of hostilities late last week.
