Hezbollah 's attack on an army base near Binyamina in northern Israel killed four men and injured dozens more.

It's lead to fresh questions about how well equipped Israel ’s hugely expensive air defence system is to stop them.

Drones have a small radar signature and can fly at low altitudes which makes early detection difficult.

Israel says it hits more than 90% of its targets.
