I even highlighted the relevant part

The part where the Iranian anti-air defense protected is territory.

If they had targeted schools and hospitals

But had to turn back in the face of anti-air attack

you know we’d be reading about it.

Israelis make a special point to suppress any news of a military embarrassment. So you won't read how many planes they lost trying to slaughter Iranian civilians.

Iran would be sharing pictures of Israeli plane wreckage and bombed Iranian hospitals if either existed. They don't.

Iran would be sharing pictures

With whom?

I'm sure Iran can figure out how to share pictures with the world. They have some smart people over there.

Do you have any specific outlet in mind? Presumably, this would be the service you checked to verify the non-existence of stories I'm supposed to apologize for not reading.
