Earlier, the Israeli military said a “projectile” fired from Lebanon had wounded two soldiers, one of them severely, near Misgav Am, a kibbutz community close to the border.
The killing of senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli air strike in late July, swiftly followed by that of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in an attack in Iran blamed on Israel, has prompted promises of retaliation and fears of a wider Middle East war.
In an effort to avert an escalation, Western and Arab diplomats have intensified efforts for a Gaza truce but ahead of a fresh round of talks in Cairo next week, a deal remains elusive.
The cross-border violence has killed 581 people in Lebanon, mostly Hezbollah fighters but including at least 128 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
On the Israeli side, including in the annexed Golan Heights, 22 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed, according to army figures.
