Seven people in central Israel were injured, the national ambulance service said, after the launch of three projectiles from Lebanon early on Saturday.
The Israeli military said the projectiles were launched into Israeli territory and that sirens sounded in a number of areas in central Israel. Some projectiles had been intercepted, it said.
"A fallen projectile was most likely identified in the area," the army added, noting that details were under investigation.
The national ambulance service and local media said the injuries ranged from mild to moderate, while two other people suffered stress symptoms.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq said later in a statement it had launched drones at a "vital target" in northern Israel. It was not immediately clear if the group's action was related to the injuries.
Fighting in Lebanon has escalated dramatically in recent weeks between Israeli forces and the Lebanese Hezbollah group.
