It looks like most shots are landing, either it was a much larger salvo than the last time or Israeli missile defense is slacking for some reason. Lets see what are the targets, I wonder if it is limited to military targets
Perhaps these missile defenses only work with plenty of warning + US & allies off the shores giving targeting info. This salvo was larger, with only an hour or so of early warning if the US info is supposed to be believed, unlike last time which was almost a week of preparation.

I have to say, Iran has gone some way toward reestablishing its credibility. That looks like an MLRS strike, not ballistic missiles.

I think a big reason these are evading BMD is that the Iranians are using the modern missiles with the terminal stage motors. The ones from the April strikes were from previous generations.

On each strike the Iranians probably use the oldest missile stockpiles first. Their latest missiles are way more survivable than older ones. As they continue doing these strikes they also learn what works against the Israeli IADS and what does not.

Israel not so cocky now. I'm watching the former Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, being interviewed and he's rattling off incidents of Iranian backed attacks on Americans in the past and US obligations to Israel.
Basically asking the US to strike Iranian nuclear facilities on Israel's behalf. We'll have to see if the current administration will pull an October Surprise on its own candidate.
