It is not known which type of aircraft are involved or exactly who is responsible.
But there were unconfirmed reports of up to 20 drones and a number of paragliders crossing the border this evening.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group and Palestinian militants are known to have drones and gliders.
The IDF confirmed the attack but has not yet announced any possible casualties.
An adviser to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said the country is now planning and prepared for a two-front war following the attack.
Hezbollah had fired missiles at Israeli troops earlier today, claiming to have killed and wounded soldiers.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group (PIJ) pledged their support to Hamas following their attack on Israel and vowed to join in.
They also claimed responsibility for a raid at the Lebanon border on Monday.
Israeli forces said their soldiers killed at least two gunmen who crossed the border in the ambush.
A spokesperson for the militant group said: “We declare our responsibility for the operation that was carried out this afternoon in southern Lebanon on the border with occupied Palestine, which led to injuries among Israeli soldiers.”
It comes after days of airstrikes and bloody assaults following Hamas’ early morning attack on Israel on Saturday.
The Israeli army previously shelled the area in southern Lebanon from which the attack was launched.
