The Israeli military is attacking Lebanese territory with combat helicopters, an army spokesperson has said.
The military fired artillery towards towns in southern Lebanon earlier, Al Jazeera has reported.
The attacks come after several fighters crossed from southern Lebanon and clashed with troops inside Israeli territory.
The Israeli army said the fighters were killed and Israeli media said several soldiers were wounded in the clash.
Hezbollah denied launching any operations into Israel, suggesting the fighters were Palestinian.
