Some go through - a very small minority. One hit a pipeline, for example (it's still burning). Another a car. A few Israeli casualties thus far (farfar less than Palestinian ones of course). But then again it's easy enough to produce hundreds of the things - it's basically a steel cylinder with a solid sugar + fertilizer propulsion block at the bottom; and a TNT or fertilizer payload with a fuse that's basically a nail and a bullet. The estimated cost for each is at most ~800$, potentially much less. Meanwhile one iron dome missile costs like 40000$.
And also, even if they don't hit they can have an impact disruption-wise: they had to close Ben Gurion airport because of them a few hours ago, for example. And right now there are large measures in the whole of Israel (schools closed, working only from shelters, etc.).
Holy fucking shit what's happening in Palestine is insane. And it doesn't look like it's calming down, quite the reverse.
Look at that video (CW: whole building collapse, and there were people inside). Israel is leveling whole apartment buildings.
There are also real time feeds at IntelDoge, AuroraIntel, and IntelCrab.

They recently introduced their first armed drones - video here. Here is also a picture of another, much lower tech one - I imagine for reconnaissance.

The IDF said they in fact just shot down such a drone, and the larger kind, so I guess they've possibly started using them.

I'm not sure they can, yeah.
To add to my earlier answer, here is a close-up footage of a mass launch from Gaza. They're shooting as many as possible at the same time, presumably to try and overwhelm the iron dome. Here is a vid of a successful hit.
Edit: wrong, the first vid is from a Turkish February launch. The second appears to be legit though. Thanks @all_or_nothing for the debunk.

Looks like that video is from February and of a Turkish launch

Well my bad for trusting a twitter vid, thanks for the info !
