No idea. Though I suppose there might be two factors: 1) Saturation. Anti-missile batteries are a limited resource and a large enough fusilade can overwhelm capacity, and 2) ECM. Electronic counter measures can throw off targeting locks. Remember how Iran launched dozens of different missile varieties in the past, and was mocked for it? "They're sending the dregs of their arsenal!" Well perhaps they were testing to see what worked and what didn't.
