The Israel Defense Forces says it has received reports of gunfire toward the northern town of Margaliot on the Lebanon border.
The IDF says troops are scanning the area, without immediately providing further details.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, a gunman may have infiltrated into Israel.
Residents of nearby towns are told to go into bomb shelters as a precaution, though most have already evacuated amid repeated rocket and missile attacks from Lebanon.
