The IDF says a Hezbollah drone launched from Lebanon impacted in the Wadi Ara area in northern Israel a short while ago, sparking a fire.
Firefighters are working to extinguish the blaze.
Amid the incident, the IDF says it attempted to shoot down the drone, before it ultimately impacted near a highway.
Another drone was shot down by a Navy missile boat over the sea, just off the coast of Caesarea, the military says. It was shot down before entering Israeli airspace, according to the IDF.
Sirens had sounded in numerous towns in northern Israel amid the drone attack.
