Checking multiple variables with the same "rules"

Question

I have to construct an array of objects. I can do it "long hand," but I'm hoping to find a way to iterate through some variables and check each at "push" them into the right spot in the array.

I have this:

//this is the starting array...I'm going to update these objects
    operationTime = [ 
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null},//Monday which is operationTime[0]
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null},
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null},
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null},
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null},
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null},
{"isActive":false,"timeFrom":null,"timeTill":null}
];

//I get the below via an API call
var monHours = placeHours.mon_open_close;
var tueHours = placeHours.tue_open_close;
var wedHours = placeHours.wed_open_close;
var thuHours = placeHours.thu_open_close;
var friHours = placeHours.fri_open_close;
var satHours = placeHours.sat_open_close;
var sunHours = placeHours.sun_open_close;
var sunHours = placeHours.sun_open_close;


//here's where I'm stuck. 
if (monHours.length>0){ 
   var arr = monHours[0].split("-");
    operationTime[0].isActive= true;
    operationTime[0].timeFrom= arr[0];
    operationTime[0].timeTill= arr[1];  
}
else {
    operationTime[0].isActive= false;
}

My if/else works perfectly in the above example using Monday, but I don't want to write this for seven days of the week making it unnecessarily complicated. How could I condense this into a single "function" that'll test each variable and push it into the array object in the correct position?
