Hizbollah said it launched a drone attack targeting Israel's military headquarters and ministry of defence in the city of Tel Aviv on Wednesday.
In a statement, the Lebanese militant group said it conducted an "aerial attack with a squadron of exploding drones" on the site housing Israel's main defence institutions in the commercial hub.
The office of Israel's military spokesperson told AFP it would not comment on Hizbollah's claims.
In two statements on Wednesday, the military said it had intercepted two drones and 40 projectiles launched from Lebanon, in attacks that caused no injuries.
The statements did not specify what sites had been targeted.
Hizbollah and Israel have been at war since late September, when the Israeli military escalated its air strikes on Lebanon and sent ground troops across the border.
Hizbollah began launching low-intensity strikes on Israel in 2023, in solidarity with its ally Hamas following the Palestinian group's October 7 attack on Israel.
More than 3,300 people have been killed in Lebanon since the violence began last year, according to the Lebanese health ministry, the majority of them since late September.
