Given how well calculated this attack was to have no casualties and that it's reported that half of the missiles/drones failed mid flight, I wonder whether they failed or whether they were detonated mid flight in order to increase the chances of interception to 99%?

There were a couple of failures but I did not see solid evidence that its half.

Iran intentionally uses cheap weaponry. Their economy is struggling. They can't afford to spend billions on an attack like the US and Israel do.
