Well, on one side - and for reasons explained yesterday: https://substack.com/home/post/p-149676030 - the IRGC does not want to 'go too far', and offer Netanyahu an excuse to launch a nuclear strike on Iran.
On the other, the Israelis (and supporters) are hell-or-bent on 'proving that Iranians can't hurt them'. Indeed, they are foremost interested in presenting all of this as 'acts of terror': at the times their own military is massacring hundreds of civilians every single day, it's inopportune (for them) to start providing evidence for Iranians targeting (almost) exclusively military targets.
Therefore, don't expect to get 'extensive sets of photographs confirming Iranian hits causing damage to military facilities in Israel'.
Over 90% of all the videos released and showing hits inside Israel - were taken and released by Palestinians. So, one can't expect a lot more in this regards.
Other reason: IRGC wants to have something hidden to play the card "we can strike much harder". I.e. for them it's more important such to be such a threat than a real conflict.
By that logic we would not have any evidence of Ukraine successfully destroying Russian military objects. And yet we do, because private satellite imaging companies. So, I would assume that there is more demand for these pictures than for shovels at Stalin's funeral;)
If the Iranian strike got through and was actually able to hit what they were aiming at (air bases for example), it will be all over Twitter by today or tomorrow.
Anybody else think this strike was like mostly toothless? A lot of fizz and bang but only superficial damage it seems

At least ISW provides links to the footage that shows what has been hit https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-october-1-2024
Cannot find that Ashkelon gas facility hit. Even any confirmation except from Iran state media.
