A fiber-optic cable said to be from a Hezbollah drone was discovered in the northern border community of Zarit, Hebrew media reports.
Images circulating online show the cable stretching across a residential street in the moshav.
It remains unclear when the cable landed in the area or what happened to the drone it was attached to.
Hezbollah has recently begun employing drones guided by fiber-optic cables that are resistant to jamming and capable of traveling up to 20 kilometers from their operators, largely used to target troops operating near the Lebanese border.
