The news saying they targeted Dimona area. Any hits recorded?
I think its a smart move to bring in axis allies one by one as Israels defences degrade one by one
So far as I read, Israel announced to intercept missile from Yemen, no casualty on the ground.

There's a decent chance that Iran have destroyed 1 or 2 US E-3G AWACS.

One has to remember that even a piece of shrapnel the size of a small screw/bolt moving at high velocity can totally wreck a 5 million dollar engine without actually blowing it up-the premise of a .50 calibre anti-material rifle destroying aircraft from 2000m away shooting at the vulnerable/sensitive parts of jets etc.Many of these very expensive jets may have serious hidden damage.

A common FPV drone payload is carrying an RPG warhead from a dismantled RPG munition. Even ye olde PG-7V [1961] warhead for the RPG-7 has 260mm penetration against rolled homogenous armour (RHA). As you can likely imagine, newer munitions have much better penetration and may even be able to slice through weaker frontal armour sections. Very few tanks have roof armour thicker than 50mm as well.
And as you can see in the video, the fpv drone aimed at the rear hatch which is the weakest point of the Merkava.
