The Israel Defense Forces says a number of its military posts on the Lebanon border were attacked with gunfire.
The IDF adds that it is responding with artillery shelling toward the sources of the fire in southern Lebanon.
The attacks come following a string of missile, rocket, and shooting attacks on Israeli towns and military posts on the northern border in recent days, most of them claimed by the Hezbollah terror group.
The IDF does not immediately report any casualties.
