I want to say the US was quietly reporting shooting down drones and even missiles basically within days of the start of the conflict.
It is just that it is not in the US’s interest to say “We are under attack and need to get directly involved in this shitshow”, it is not in Israel’s interest to acknowledge that this ethnic cleansing is part of a larger war against their neighbors, and it isn’t in Al Jazeera/Qatar’s interest to acknowledge anything but the ethnic cleansing. Because the reality is that Hamas are (allegedly) backed by Iran and they, and Iran, are more or less sacrificing the Palestinian people to promote their own interests. And Israel is glad to cooperate while avoiding a “real” war.
What I will add: Random drones and even missiles aren’t entirely unheard of even when there is not a conflict waiting to boil over. It is just, again, it isn’t really in anyone’s interest to make a big deal out of them.
