This paragraph is somewhere in the middle of the article so maybe it's easy to miss:
"The TJ100 however not only has much lower thrust than the original KH-55 engine but also is just your regular old turbojet. This leads to some questions about range. Both the missile’s smaller size and its more fuel-hungry engine make it seem unlikely it’s range would be anywhere close to the the Soumar’s/Hoveyzeh’s range of 1350km "
So no, the attacks did not happen with the Quds-1 missile, but rather with a much more advanced one. A missile in the same class as the Tomahawk, or the KH-55. These missiles are not garage-level technology.
