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.).

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.
