Yes Iraq was a much more complicated operation but that doesn't mean that the pilots who carried out the attack on Syria were any less courgeoous.
Unlike the pilots who carried out the attack in Iraq Syria had modern anti aircraft systems.
Also unlike 1981 the steaks were greater because in 1981 Saddam Hussain had no way of retaliating as he didn't have any missiles or jets capable of reaching Israel whilst Assad has both along with a land border so if he had chosen to he could have sent ground forces into Israel so unlike in 1981 it could have sparked a full scale war.

Both carried out different kinds of operations neither of which was easy and the pilots in both showed great courage.
