The IDF says its tanks fired warning shots toward a number of rioters who crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory.
The suspects sabotaged the border fence and set a fire in the area before returning to Lebanese territory, the military says.
There are no reports of injuries.
A handful of the protesters are seen waving Hezbollah flags.
The incident took place near the Israeli town of Metula.
