Why Iranian counterattacks rarely hit their target

Have you seen videos like this?

It's Iranian missiles and drones getting blown  out of the sky by defensive missiles called  

interceptors. It was not so long ago that it was  conventional wisdom that uh you couldn't hit a

up before it blows you up. In the first days of  this war, Iran fired over 500 missiles and over
