35. What specifically are you referencing?
No force has ever successfully one upped the IAF, That may not apply to the IDF, but the Israeli Airforce is the supreme Air power of the region and so far has been able to circumvent all Anti Air Systems thrown against it in time.

It isn't invincible and it of course takes causalities, but the IAF has always figured out a way to do what they need to. If Israel wants to do fly overs of Lebanon the only forces capable of stopping them would probably be the Chinese, the Russians or us. I don't think it would take long for Israel to respond with overwhelming force against what Anti-aircraft systems Hezbollah gets their hands on if they start shooting down Israeli planes.
