It's gotten more common but for most part it's just Iran poking Saudi Arabia trying to draw them in deeper or trying to get the US to react ,
The Iranian drones tend to be not the most accurate of vehicles for combat ,most new anti systems are now equipped for anti drone operations which would make all but the best useless in certain cases .but they could have a pysoclogical effect showing iran can hit saudi

Iran threatened to dispatch it's navy to Gibraltar to protect it's oil don't think anyone took any real notice of the threat
"Greece has refused to help the Iranian tanker recently detained in Gibraltar on suspicion of shipping oil to Syria.
Deputy foreign minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis told broadcaster ANT1 his country was "not willing to facilitate the course of this ship to Syria".
The move comes after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened sanctions on any country that helps the tanker.
Adrian Darya-1 left Gibraltar on Sunday and listed the Greek port Kalamata as its destination"

A few rockets get fired towards Israel who them return the favour with overwhelming force ,
Iran and hizbolla shut up for a while and we start again
"Israel has struck Iranian military sites in Syria to prevent what it said was a pending drone strike by Iran.
Israel's military rarely acknowledges operations in Syria, but it claimed on Saturday its strikes had prevented an attack on Israel "using killer drones".
PM Benjamin Netanyahu hailed his military's "major operational effort".
Israel is believed to have carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since civil war broke out there in 2011, to try to prevent Iran gaining a foothold.
An Israeli military spokesman said the strikes on Saturday targeted Iran's Quds force in Aqraba, south-east of the capital, Damascus.
A Syrian military source quoted by the official Sana news agency said that Syrian anti-aircraft defences "detected enemy targets from Golan heading towards the area around Damascus".
"The aggression was immediately confronted and so far the majority of the enemy Israeli missiles have been destroyed before reaching their targets," the source said.
In a tweet, Mr Netanyahu said: "I reiterate: Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in every sector against the Iranian aggression. 'If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.'"

I love how the Syrians claimed to have intercepted and shot down the missles (something they been proved incapable of doing)

I suppose if Israel is putting hole's in the soil of sovereign countries, it's up to those countries to respond in kind...
Israel has attacked Lebanon, Syria and Iraq in the last few weeks.
And they've attacked Iranian soldiers in different countries, I'm sure this won't go unanswered.
They have stolen land from the Arab's too, including the Golan heights.
But sure that's the way they play.
If they keep up their antic's the whole world is going to turn a blind eye if a big war breaks out.
Hopefully for Israel's sake the democrats in America won't get in in the next election...
With Trump there at least they're some support.
Its a terrible for Israel and Lebanon if war does break out. The Israeli leadership are not helping the situation stay calm. You can't just bomb Lebanon and expect no military response. Situation right now is unclear. Israel jets have taken off and reportedly hitting positions inside Lebanon.
Hezbollah allegedly targeted IDF troop carrier on the road of the settlement of Avivim. If soldiers died there, it not good.
Alleged picture taken at the border were fighting is happening.
