The IDF revealed on Monday that 221 out of 1,200 drones have landed in Israel in some fashion, though a much smaller undefined number have actually struck populated areas or killed or wounded Israelis.

Of the 1,200 drones that the IDF defined as a threat, it has shot down 80%, said the IDF, though other unofficial estimates taking into account different categories of drones have put the estimate of shoot-down success closer to 70%.

These revelations come after the IDF failed to shoot down a drone on Sunday night, which killed four Golani soldiers and wounded or lightly injured around 60.
