IP blocking order

hi,

I have several IP blocks set for the usual offenders in iptables, yet I keep getting notices from Fail2ban that an
IP in the range if getting blocked. My question is Fail2ban in front of iptables?

In iptables:
-A INPUT -s 178.0.0.0/8 -j DROP

Yet I get this:
Hi,

The IP 178.63.104.142 has just been banned by Fail2Ban after
4 attempts against apache-auth on localhost.

I do not understand why the offending IP is getting as far as to Fail2ban.

Thank you
