Wikipedia is notoriously unreliable on controversial subjects.
Your post qualifies for a simple parrot designation. Although it’s terribly easy, yet your post doesn’t qualify for the grand prize. Far too simple, misinformed, and naive. Go figure.
Sorry and I hope you feel better.

There are plenty of links from Iranian and Arab sources. Besides, pictures and video are not that controversial.

Iran Makes First Use of 100km+ Range Anti-Air Missiles to Repel Israeli Strikes: Which Air Defence Systems Did It?
S-300 Missile Launch and Israeli Delilah Ballistic Missile Launch From F-16
Responding to Israeli attacks in the early hours of October 26, Iranian air defence units were reported to have shot down multiple incoming air launched missiles around the capital Tehran. The intention behind the very small scale attack was evaluated at the time, with circumstantial evidence indicating that air defences were successful in intercepting all targets. Although Western and Israeli sources have made contradictory reports regarding how many waves of Israeli attacks were launched, reports from Iranian sources indicate more than one wave of missile strikes. Israeli attacks notably used long ranged air launched missiles, which could be fired from far outside Iranian airspace and well beyond the range of the country’s air defences - thus minimising risks to Israeli aircraft. This mirrors the approach taken in most strikes on Syrian targets, particularly after the loss of an Israeli F-16I fighter in February 2018 to an Israeli S-200 air defence system. This is also consistent with leaked U.S. intelligence reports that Israel planned to use long range air launched ballistic missiles to strike Iran.
Israeli Air Force F-16I
Reports from Iranian sources indicate that while medium range surface to air missiles were used to neutralise Israeli missiles used in the first wave of attacks, long range air defence systems were subsequently employed. This included the first ever use by the country’s armed forces of an air defence system to strike a target over 100 kilometres away. The Iranian Air Defence Forces field multiple surface to air missile systems capable of engaging targets at such ranges, including a heavily customised variant of the Russian S-300PMU-2 delivered in 2018. Although the standard longest ranged armament for the S-300PMU-2 is the 48N6E2 which has a 200 kilometre range, the system is reportedly compatible with the much more modern 48N6DM which can engage missiles at very high supersonic speeds including hypersonic speeds exceeding Mach 5, and has a 250 kilometre range. Iran was reported in 2020 to have received new missiles for its S-300s, which were speculated to be 48N6DM missiles. China previously tested this Russian-supplied missile class to successful intercept targets travelling at speeds exceeding Mach 8 at 250 kilometre ranges - a performance far exceeding that of any of Israel’s air launched missiles.

Alongside the S-300, Iran also fields a range of less advanced long range air defence systems that are also capable of intercepting targets over 100 kilometres away. The country’s first system capable of engaging targets at such ranges today remains its longest ranged system, namely the Soviet S-200D, which was acquired in the 1990s and has a 300 kilometre engagement range. S-200s have continued to be modernised in the country, including through provision of road mobility. Nevertheless, the systems are not optimally suited to neutralising small targets such as air launched missiles, although they provide an effective defence against larger ballistic missiles such as the Israeli Jericho, and can potentially neutralise fighters far outside Iranian airspace should they be flying at sufficiently high altitudes. The addition of more modern electronic warfare countermeasures, and integration of S-200s with other air defence assets using much more modern radar systems, allows them to still provide a significant contribution to Iranian air defences.
Surface to Air Missile Battery From Bavar-373 System
Iran’s most capable indigenous long range air defence system the Bavar 373 was reported in April to have also achieved a 300 kilometre engagement range through integration of the new Sayyad 4B missile. There is a significant possibility that the widely used system was employed to repel recent strikes, including possibly for interceptions of incoming Israeli missiles at ranges of over 100 kilometres. Iran’s Khordad 15 system represents a lighter counterpart to the Bavar 373 with notably also retains an engagement range of well over 100 kilometres, although it remains uncertain whether this system has been fielded on a large scale. Little information regarding the Khordad 15 has been revealed since it was first unveiled in the summer of 2019. Iran’s reliance on ground based air defence systems remains very significant due primarily to its lack of modern fighter aircraft, with its multi-layered air defence network representing an unprecendetedly potent challenge for Israel and its Western Bloc allies that complements the country’s formidable ballistic missile deterrent.
Gosh. Where on earth does it show that.

Most Arab sources are worthless, especially from pro-Israel dictatorships.
Pictures can be doctored.
The Iranians have been quite forthcoming in admitting a number of hits, so the reality would be something in between the two sides. Also, it is now well known that Israel was fed misleading intelligence by Iran and they wasted many hits on worthless targets.

Their is no need for Israeli planes to enter Iranian airspace, they can use long range missles.
China needs to defend its allies just like Usa does. Soon China will have to do it otherwise usa and allies will choke China economy and trade.

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Iranian air defense units successfully intercepted several missiles launched by Israel during the early hours of October 26. This response came shortly after Israeli forces executed a series of missile strikes targeting the Iranian capital, Tehran. While the scale of the assault was relatively small, preliminary reports indicate that Iranian forces effectively neutralized all incoming threats.

Conflicting accounts have emerged regarding the number of waves in which Israel launched its attacks. While Western and Israeli sources differ, Iranian reports suggest multiple waves were involved. Israel’s strategy relied on long-range air-launched missiles, fired from positions well outside Iranian airspace, minimizing the risk to its aircraft.
Hours prior to the Israeli operation, Russian officials alerted Iran to the impending strikes, sharing intelligence about potential targets and Israeli maneuvers, according to sources who spoke with Sky News Arabia. This collaboration underscores Russia’s commitment to maintaining regional stability and aiding Iran in preparing its defenses. Despite sustaining damage to military installations in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces—resulting in the tragic loss of two Iranian soldiers—Iranian authorities reported that their air defenses intercepted many of the attacking missiles.

According to Axios, Israel directly communicated with Iran through intermediaries before the strikes, urging restraint and warning of a stronger retaliation if civilian casualties occurred. On October 25, Dutch Foreign Minister Kaspar Veldkamp also called for de-escalation during a conversation with his Iranian counterpart. The following day, the Israeli Defense Forces declared the successful completion of their air operation, which targeted air defense systems and missile production facilities while intentionally avoiding nuclear and oil infrastructure to focus solely on military objectives.
Iran condemned the Israeli strikes as a breach of international law, asserting its right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. Whether Iran will retaliate remains uncertain; sources from Sky News Arabia indicate that Iran signaled, through intermediaries, a decision to refrain from immediate retaliation, while reports from Tasnim suggest that Tehran is ready to respond and cautioned that Israel would face a proportional counteraction.
Simultaneously, the United States urged Iran to halt its aggressive actions, warning that continued hostilities could lead to American support for Israel’s defense and potential consequences if tensions escalate further.

Leaked U.S. intelligence also suggests that Israel may be contemplating the use of long-range air-launched ballistic missiles against Iranian positions.
In response to the initial wave of attacks, Iranian forces deployed medium-range surface-to-air missiles [SAMs] to counter the Israeli missiles. For subsequent strikes, Iran utilized long-range defense systems capable of intercepting missiles from distances exceeding 100 kilometers—an important advancement.
Among Iran’s air defense arsenal are upgraded Russian-made S-300PMU-2 systems, known for their advanced interception capabilities. While the standard 48N6E2 missiles have a range of 200 kilometers, these systems are reportedly compatible with the more advanced 48N6DM missiles, which boast interception ranges of up to 250 kilometers and are designed to counter hypersonic threats.

Iran’s reliance on ground-based air defenses is largely attributed to its constrained inventory of modern fighter aircraft. This multi-layered defense network poses a significant challenge to Israel and its allies, reinforcing Iran’s extensive missile deterrent strategy. The sophisticated integration of these ground defenses with cutting-edge electronic warfare and radar systems further bolsters Iran’s defensive posture in the region.
