The hits on the refinery and power plant seemed accurate enough.
They're likely using a number of older and cheaper missiles for saturation attacks as well, but their ability to accurately strike high value targets has been demonstrated rather well.

I've seen it argued that they're just going though all their trash to overexert the missile defense systems and will start using the good stuff when it fails, and should that happen I'll happily eat crow. But for now it all sounds like cope, like the people who said Russia was going to curb stomp Ukraine in a month.

Allegedly Israel damaged a lot of entrances in the west of Iran where their more modern missles are stored, which could be another reason for using the older stuff.
But israel is essentially burning through all their air defences and won't be able to keep it up long.
Iran is now shooting missiles, their older ones, during the middle of the day with a good number still getting through while sending smaller volleys of 15-25. No longer is night and a volley of 200+ including the hypersonics needed to get through defences.
Take everything with a grain of salt, Israel is now under strict censorship so basically all the news coming from there now is total bs. And AFAIK Iran is locked down now too. And for the record I don't argue that point, I see people online claiming they're cowards or free speech, etc.. But they're at war, it makes complete sense and we'd do the same if missiles were raining down.
